The aim of this urban walk is to spend around two hours exploring the centre of Bordeaux, focusing on the northern part of the city, with an emphasis on public and private green spaces and avoiding traffic as much as possible. This route also takes you through some beautiful parks and both affluent and working-class neighbourhoods. The route is accessible by bicycle, but care should be taken.

This walk connects some of the green spaces in northern Bordeaux. Only some, because Bordeaux stretches far to the north and it would be difficult to visit all the green spaces in a reasonable walking distance.The walk starts at Place des Quinconces, winds through the beautiful neighbourhoods brightened up by green spaces that are closed at night, and after Parc Marceau, takes you through the more working-class neighbourhoods of Grand-Parc, Chartrons and Bacalan, which are currently undergoing renovation, before returning along the Garonne.It is possible to do this walk by bicycle, taking care to watch out for cars and respect pedestrians.
