Hostens walks

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.

Luxey is a small rural village best known for its "street music" show, which monopolises the village for three days, but also for its many unmarked footpaths. This attracts walkers looking for sporting activities (walking, mountain biking, mountain biking). Unmarked trail. Area frequented by the hunting club (take care in season).

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

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

A family walk through the forest and then across the Eyre delta and its marshland landscapes, with wildlife in abundance throughout the route.

The Certes and Graveyron estates in Audenge (33) are a group of former salt marshes, once used as fish ponds, nestled in the Arcachon basin. Now a nature reserve, it is a unique place to observe nature and especially birds. The short loop trail allows you to explore these places at your leisure.

Ride along a small country road, then a forest track. The Marquis Museum is the main attraction in this area, which is otherwise lacking in activity outside of this tourist hotspot. The short loop offered here is an alternative to the crowds attracted by the museum and has the advantage of allowing you to discover the culture of the Landes region.

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

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).

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

From Branne, take the picturesque little roads leading to Blasimon and let yourself be surprised, throughout this loop, by the richness of the local heritage and the views from the hillsides.

Follow part of EuroVelo 3: the Scandibérique, and explore the small roads of Brannais and Entre Deux Mers to discover charming villages, hamlets and local heritage.

Set off on a picturesque bike ride through the Brannais region and discover its magnificent Romanesque churches. Let yourself be charmed by the architecture of these historic buildings, witnesses to a rich cultural past.
