Macau walks

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).

This walk will take you through woods and vineyards.

Magnificent views, weather permitting: Saint-André-de-Cubzac, Pont d'Aquitaine, etc. Passage through Mediterranean-style shrubbery, not to mention a few beautiful castles... Be careful in wet weather, as the path can be slippery.

Loop between the Dordogne and the Fronsadais hills, with landscapes of marshes and hedgerows, then vineyards and hillsides. Pass through the small port of Tressac and enjoy the view of Château de La Rivière.

This walk will take you through the vineyards of Saillans, a small village with beautiful views of the River Isle and Libourne.

This fairly hilly route takes you through vineyards and castles and offers numerous viewpoints. The route was designed by the Fronsac Tourist Office and is fairly well signposted for the most part, but has been slightly modified.

The route is fairly hilly and varied, with the banks of the Isle, vineyards, woodland, beautiful views, castles and stately homes.

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

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.

The starting point of the route, Guîtres Abbey (11th and 15th centuries) is an imposing monument located on the Way of St James. We will continue our walk through the gentle Pays Gabay (pronounced gabaye) to meet three rivers, the Isle, the Dronne and the Lary.

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

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

Just a few minutes from Saint-Émilion, this remarkable hamlet has many surprises in store. A lodge for pilgrims on the Way of St James, an aviary, an 18th-century mill, a magnificent Petit Trianon-style château, an important and magnificent collection of iron sculptures, not to mention a beautiful view of the mountains. Let's continue with some Grands Crus and beautiful views of the rolling hills.

From the old Saint-Laurent-des-Combes railway station, at a place called Barbeyron, you will climb back up towards Saint-Émilion with exceptional views of the medieval town. After skirting the town, this hike will take you through the heart of the Saint-Émilion Grand Cru vineyards.

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.

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.
