This circular route allows you to discover the Garonne up close from its banks, but also from the vineyard slopes that border its floodplain. The route is not particularly difficult but has a slight incline. will take you to the banks of the Garonne and one of its small tributaries (the Grand Estey). After following a pretty, slightly sloping path, you will reach the hillsides and cool little valleys of the Entre-Deux-Mers region, with its vineyards, towering oak woods and grazing meadows. From there, you will enjoy several views of the river and its alluvial plain.

The official name of the walk is: "Le Tourne-Langoiran - Circular 8 - Cdc Portes de l'Entre-deux-Mers" A 9 km route between the river and the hillsides, offering magnificent views of the colourful marshes that encircle the Garonne as you walk through the ever-present vineyards. You could easily lose yourself in the narrow streets of these two bustling villages where water always finds its way. We follow its course, imagining another story; that of villages where life revolved entirely around the river, its trade and the fishing boats.

Circular 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.

A lovely circular route that starts on the banks of the Garonne with its traditional fishing huts, then follows the Estey stream before crossing vineyards and reaching magnificent viewpoints before arriving at the medieval castle of Haut-Langoiran.

The official name of the walk is: Tabanac-le Tourne - Circular 7 - cdc-Portes de l’Entre-deux-Mers The walk alternates between landscapes in the heart of the vineyards, stretches through wooded areas and the discovery of marshes. This circular walk will immerse you in a vibrant countryside, where, round every bend, you’ll be surprised by the sight of a quarry, a remarkable tree or a wash house.

This route starts in Podensac and takes you along the Garonne and its traditional fishing huts, through some wooded areas and across vineyards. The start of the walk is near the municipal estate of Chavat, built in the early 20th century by an industrialist. It features copies of ancient statues and has been designated a ‘remarkable garden’. The water tower that supplied the estate was the first building constructed in France by Le Corbusier.

A slightly hilly, shortened route through woodland, meadows, a stud farm, horse paddocks and the beautiful Château de Camiac.

A very easy route through the vineyards and woods north of La Sauve Majeure. Partly shaded, the hike is very pleasant in hot weather. Very few tarmac roads. Beautiful views of the majestic abbey overlooking the village.

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

A bucolic route, not very hilly but varied: very few small roads (with little traffic), meadows, undergrowth, pidgeon hunting huts, vineyards, small hamlets and castles. You may also encounter various animals. A significant part of the route is on the Lapébie cycle path (very busy at weekends). Please note that there are pidgeon hunting huts, so avoid the period from 1 October to 20 November.

A moderately hilly hike through woods, meadows and a section of the Lapébie cycle path.

Stone quarried from the local quarries shapes our landscape. It forms the foundation of the castles, as well as the old houses that cluster together to form hamlets, bearing witness to the way of life in these localities. Vines, clay soil and stone form the bedrock of our relationship with this land and mark our impact on these transformations. Circular No. 5 of the Portes de l’Entre-Mers Community of Communes.

This circular figure-of-eight loop around the Roger Lapébie cycle path allows you to discover the charms of the Entre-deux-Mers region and some of its beautiful heritage.

A lovely walk through the Loupiac vineyards, between paths and a few sections of road. The latter are always topped by an embankment for those who don't like tarmac... Located on the right bank of the Garonne, about 40 kilometres south-east of Bordeaux. Moderator update on 30/03/2021: Please note! There are private property issues between (8) and (10). It is therefore preferable to reach these two points via the D117

Circular route starting from Loupiac, in the hills of Entre Deux Mers. A mix of rural paths, farm tracks and narrow, quiet tarmac roads with passable verges. Very varied and changing hilly landscapes: vineyards, meadows, copses, little urbanisation. Stable terrain, regular ascents and descents spread throughout the route.

This is a very bucolic route through numerous pleasant woodlands, meadows and small hamlets, with lots of animals, but to enjoy it you also have to accept a few roads (fortunately very quiet ones)...

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

Daignac, with its 14th-century castle, vineyards, lots of undergrowth and few paved roads... Very flat route.

The official name of the circular route is: Lignan-de-Bordeaux–Cénac – Circular Route 2 – Portes de l’Entre-deux-Mers Community of Communes. Crossing paths with walkers and cyclists along the Lapébie trail, this circular route offers a glimpse into another era, when the railway crossed the Entre-deux-Mers region from Orléans station in Bordeaux to Sauveterre-de-Guyenne.Further reminders of the past are the quarries, which today provide a home for bats and blend seamlessly with the wooded hillsides, creating places with a unique atmosphere. Having become a source of risk, they, like the waters of the Pimpine, exemplify our changing relationship with the land. This circular route forms part of the ‘11 Bell Towers’ route organised by the Portes de l’Entre-deux-Mers Community of Communes.
