Pompignac walks

For many years, the municipality of Pompignac has taken great care to preserve a green, wooded area around the village, which has enabled it to create a very pleasant circular walking route, in collaboration with the Communauté de Communes des Coteaux Bordelais and the Gironde Department. The path is well signposted (follow either “Ceinture Verte” or “Circular Path of Pompignac”).

This 7.7 km circular route starts in the current village of Fargues-Saint-Hilaire, at the Sunday market square, and takes you on a tour of beautiful shaded paths. Part of the route passes through Carignan-de-Bordeaux, where you will discover an unusual place. .

We offer you a lovely walk through the undergrowth and vineyards. You will pass by a pond, wine estates and the outskirts of Tresses, Pompignac and Fargues Saint-Hilaire.

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.

Bouliac boasts a rich heritage. Numerous stately homes and châteaux dot the commune’s landscape, bearing witness to a rich past and an era when Bordeaux merchants made their fortunes through the commercial activity of the Port de la Lune and sought to acquire beautiful residences on the hillsides, just a few kilometres from the city.

The route passes through the plateau and its castles and returns via the old railway line.

This urban walk aims to connect some of the green spaces in northern Bordeaux, avoiding traffic as much as possible and taking less than two hours. As Bordeaux extends far to the north, it is impossible to visit all of its green spaces. The urban walk offers a fairly comprehensive view of Bordeaux, including middle-class neighbourhoods, working-class neighbourhoods, old neighbourhoods, renovated neighbourhoods, beautiful private gardens, and public gardens that are more or less accessible and well maintained. It is possible to do the walk by bicycle, taking care.

This is a very bucolic route through numerous pleasant woodlands, meadows and small hamlets, with lots of animals, but to enjoy it you also have to accept a few roads (fortunately very quiet ones)...

Fellow non-motorised hikers, here’s a route designed just for you! Close to the city yet very green and peaceful, this easy walk will help you unwind, thanks to the Bordeaux-Libourne TER train dropping you off at Gorp station. You can, for example, catch this TER from Bordeaux Saint-Jean station or Cenon station (check timetables). On the way back, the tram (lines A and C) will take you easily back to your starting point.

The various vistas offered by the region’s sweeping panoramas provide a glimpse into why these lands have been chosen as holiday destinations throughout history. The beautiful mansions, castles and wine-growing activity leave their mark on the landscape. Between these estates, stretches of woodland run through the villages, allowing wildlife to roam freely – wildlife we hope to encounter along the way.

Our rolling countryside offers panoramic views where the interplay between our valleys and villages comes to life.
