Tour of Bordeaux (Gironde)

Starting from the iconic Pont de Pierre, the route heads towards the banks of Bègles and the wooded parks of Gradignan, where the banks of the Eau Bourde reveal a heritage of priories and old mills. Passing through Pessac and Mérignac, walkers encounter modern architecture and renowned vineyards before venturing into the wooded areas of Le Haillan and Saint-Médard-en-Jalles. Between Le Taillan-Médoc and Blanquefort, the landscape becomes wilder, blending château grounds with protected marshland areas in Bruges. Crossing the Garonne to the right bank marks a dramatic change in topography at Lormont, Cenon, and Floirac. Here, the limestone hillsides offer natural viewpoints with panoramic views of the Port of the Moon.
