This is a circular close to the Garonne which aims to connect the various green spaces of La Bastide, a neighbourhood located on the right bank of the Garonne, in two hours, avoiding traffic as much as possible. La Bastide is a former working-class neighbourhood of Bordeaux that has long been neglected and is now undergoing complete renovation. You will come across buildings from the 1950s, as well as recent futuristic buildings and old Bordeaux shops. You can easily move from one era to another, and the construction work is far from complete. It is possible to do this route by bike, taking care.

Departure from Bordeaux (Gironde)
La Bastide is a neighbourhood located on the right bank of the Garonne, east of Bordeaux. This long-neglected working-class neighbourhood is undergoing rapid change, with the conversion of industrial wastelands, multiple real estate projects, new streets... The proposed route is likely to change quickly...The aim of this walk is to connect all the green spaces larger than one hectare in this neighbourhood, avoiding traffic as much as possible and offering the most beautiful views of Bordeaux from the quays. Two shortcuts are suggested to shorten the walk.I suggest starting the walk on the left bank quays, but it is also possible to start directly from the right bank, at Place Stalingrad, at the end of the Pont de Pierre bridge. The walk can also be done by bicycle, taking care to watch out for pedestrians.

The aim of this two-hour urban walk is to connect the various green spaces in this area of Bordeaux while avoiding traffic as much as possible. La Bastide is a working-class neighbourhood that has long been neglected but has been undergoing rapid change in recent years. This walk allows you to discover the two faces of La Bastide: the old neighbourhood with its streets of shops and traditional Bordeaux stone houses, and the new neighbourhood with its new buildings. The walk can also be done by bicycle, but you must remain very attentive.
