« Le Chemin » is both a surfing film and an engaged documentary.

It traces the journey of Arthur Bourbon, professional surfer and director, from the Basque Country to Brittany.

On the road, Arthur meets surfers and ocean lovers with inspiring commitments and life paths, while rediscovering the surf spots of the French Atlantic Coast.
An adventure full of simplicity and kindness, advocating a different type of travel and a sense of wonder.

Along the way, the landscapes of the coastline will be revealed along the bike path, like a forgotten treasure at the bottom of the garden.

And there is nothing like the rhythm of a bicycle to enjoy it.
It is also an opportunity to discover initiatives and personalities, through 6 portraits.

How to live more simply? How to eat and produce differently? How can we travel while limiting our impact? Sobriety or innovation? These issues, at the heart of all debates on environmental and climate issues, are addressed here in a positive and entertaining way.
The intention is above all to show some examples and alternatives in order to encourage reflection.
And of course the waves, because it is above all a "surf trip"!

Along the "Vélodyssée", this famous cycling route, it is the best opportunity to discover the coast and to find some unknown jewels.

What better way to enjoy the beautiful conditions of early autumn?

What do a young osteopath, an oyster farmer, a schoolgirl, a father and a young farmer have in common?
They all follow the path of the waves.
Not a simple weekend hobby, but a real life choice.
However, we are not in Polynesia, nor in the Basque country, we are in an atypical department of the Atlantic coast
Atlantic coast: the Charente Maritime.
"Waves in Charente Maritime? And why not Bobsleigh in Jamaica?"
Karl, a young breeder, takes us to discover the wave paths he is particularly fond of.

At the bend of some routes we meet other portraits.

Women and men who share the same passion of the glide.
