Lignan-de-Bordeaux walks

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.
