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.

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.
