Short circular loop around Bordeaux-Sud around the station through green spaces

This is a circular route of about 2 hours that avoids traffic as much as possible and tries to connect the various green spaces in this popular area surrounding the Saint-Jean train station and extending slightly into the commune of Bègles. There are many small squares and green spaces that are open all the time and are more or less well maintained. The route is accessible by bicycle if you take care.
