Notes

The “Sentiers du Brulhois” are a collection of short hiking routes designed for walkers, mountain bikers and horse riders (some sections are accessible to horse-drawn carriages) in the southern part of the Communauté de Communes des Deux Rives. A range of routes of varying lengths are available, starting from the villages of Donzac, Dunes, Sistels and Saint-Loup. On these walks, which take a few hours, you’ll discover the rolling landscapes of the Brulhois region, the architectural heritage of the Gascon bastides and the charm of the flower-filled villages.

Worth a visit

The village of St-Loup and its fountain, the views over the Arratz and Garonne valleys, the Saigne bridge and, just a stone’s throw away, the old telegraph tower.
