Arsac walks

An easy route near the vineyards, then through the forest and around two lakes.

Lamarque is located in the Médoc region, in the heart of the great wine appellations, south of the prestigious Saint-Julien Beychevelle and Pauillac appellations, and less than 10km north of Margaux. The village is unique in that it has the highest point on the Médoc peninsula. The dome of the church, perched at a height of 35 metres, offers a unique and breathtaking view of the great wine region.

Take a section of the Tours route on the way to Santiago de Compostela to reach the village of Plassac with its old streets and immerse yourself in antiquity as you discover the Gallo-Roman villa! Head to the banks of the Gironde, reach the marina and set off to conquer the hillsides. Shady paths, vineyard landscapes and beautiful views around the Vierge de Montuzet are all on the menu for this walk!

Formed by the confluence of the Garonne and Dordogne rivers, the Gironde Estuary is the largest estuary in Western Europe (600 km²) and the best preserved in terms of landscape and environment. Bordered by the vineyards of Médoc and Côtes de Blaye, this estuary is home to many inhabited and uninhabited islands that are well worth visiting.

This is a circular route that allows you to discover the green spaces and parks, covering more than one hectare, in the centre-west of Bordeaux. As in many cities, the western sector is favoured because the air coming from the sea is supposed to be healthier. On this side of Bordeaux, there are many beautiful houses with private gardens and well-maintained public parks, which are closed at night.The route can be done by bicycle, taking care.

Since the construction of the Chaban-Delmas Bridge, it has been possible to take a stroll along both banks of the Garonne River. Whether you prefer a brisk or leisurely walk, you will discover the most beautiful views from the Bacalan Bastide Bridge (Chaban-Delmas) and the Place de la Bourse.

In the Bordeaux metropolitan area, this original circuit combines magnificent views of the Garonne, the Chaban-Delmas and Aquitaine bridges, the Cité du Vin and, further afield, a glimpse of "old" Lormont, all in a natural setting. Please note that there are many steps (but they are in very good condition).

This is a circular route that allows you to discover the green spaces of western Bordeaux, a privileged area. As in many cities, the air in the west, coming from the sea, is supposed to be healthier. This area has many quiet, shaded streets and well-maintained parks and squares that are closed at night. The route can be done by bicycle, taking care.

Having a river near your home is always a blessing. Our Eau Bourde is modest but full of charm, offering around fifteen kilometres of almost continuous walking or cycling along its tranquil course, alone or with the family, whatever the season.

This walk will take you through woods and vineyards.

Magnificent views, weather permitting: Saint-André-de-Cubzac, Pont d'Aquitaine, etc. Passage through Mediterranean-style shrubbery, not to mention a few beautiful castles... Be careful in wet weather, as the path can be slippery.

In the privileged environment of the Bordeaux suburbs, there are many opportunities for walks and hikes. This loop, with its varied landscapes, can be enjoyed as a quiet and relaxing stroll, or, on the contrary, covered at a brisk pace using the techniques of power walking or Nordic walking. I opted for the latter, for a workout circuit lasting about an hour and a half.

Loop between the Dordogne and the Fronsadais hills, with landscapes of marshes and hedgerows, then vineyards and hillsides. Pass through the small port of Tressac and enjoy the view of Château de La Rivière.

Discovery hike along the Eau Blanche stream. It rises in Lipomey, south-southeast of Léognan. It winds through the forest before crossing Léognan and heading towards Cadaujac and then Courrejan, where it flows into the Garonne. The hike runs along the left bank of the vineyards of the Châteaux de France, Fieuzal and Le Sartre, Pessac-Léognan grands crus classés. On the way back, it runs along the right bank, crosses Mignoy, and passes near Château Chevaliner, another Pessac-Léognan grand cru classé.

An easy loop through vineyards and forest Just half an hour from Bordeaux, Lac Beu de Léognan is hidden away in the middle of a forest park. It is a place much loved by families and other walkers for its bucolic setting and tranquillity.

A short loop, suitable for all ages, to discover the vineyards and moors of Pessac-Léognan. Very few roads, beautiful views. Easy to follow.

This walk through the vineyards is notable for its many wine châteaux, an ancient church with a pure Romanesque choir, and its significant production of lily of the valley. You will pass the Latour Martillac, Haut Nouchet and Cruzeau Martillac châteaux, located on the outskirts of the Bordeaux metropolitan area. Martillac, an Aquitaine village in southern Gironde, belongs to the Pessac Leognan wine region, giving its wines a prestigious appellation.

A rural route through woods, meadows, a few vineyards and quiet country roads.

Very flat route: Lapébie cycle path, vineyards, woodland...

Loop from the port of Langoiran to the hillsides and the church of Haut-Langoiran. Moderator's note Possible private property issue between (5) and (6): See reviews. It is possible to take the road
