PAC-Bayes learning is an established framework to both assess the generalisation ability of learning algorithms, and design new learning algorithm by exploiting generalisation bounds as training objectives. Most of the exisiting bounds involve a \emph{Kullback-Leibler} (KL) divergence, which fails to capture the geometric properties of the loss function which are often useful in optimisation. We address this by extending the emerging \emph{Wasserstein PAC-Bayes} theory. We develop new PAC-Bayes bounds with Wasserstein distances replacing the usual KL, and demonstrate that sound optimisation guarantees translate to good generalisation abilities. In particular we provide generalisation bounds for the \emph{Bures-Wasserstein SGD} by exploiting its optimisation properties.
