Saint-Aignan (Gironde) walks

A hilly hike between famous châteaux and their vineyards, with beautiful views of the Dordogne and charming little hamlets...

A slightly hilly route combining the magnificent Château de la Rivière, its viewpoint, undergrowth and vineyards.

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

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.

A bucolic, undulating hike through varied landscapes, vineyards and undergrowth, and a few small, quiet roads.

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.

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.

This walk will take you through woods and vineyards.

Just a few minutes from Libourne town centre, there are over 450 hectares of nature: meadows, vineyards, woods, the Dordogne river, but also storks, deer and wild boar (don't worry, they're not visible during the day...). Also worth seeing are a magnificent chapel, Château Videlot and its grounds. Please note that the path through the château grounds along the Dordogne may be inaccessible during high tides (coefficient > 100). This route is signposted.

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

A very gentle hike through woodland, meadows and vineyards...

Discover a little-known part of Libourne after a few minutes' drive, leaving the traffic behind for the vineyards and then the tranquillity of the banks of the Dordogne. If it is hot and the sun is strong, you will be in the shade and cool on your return. The presence of the menhir is surprising.

Moderately hilly hike through vineyards, woods and meadows.Please note: this route is not recommended if you do not have a GPS or, better still, the Visorando app, as many sections lack signposts.Please note that descriptions (5) and (9) were modified on 19 August 2024 following two comments from a user.

90% of the route is on quiet roads with verges, allowing you to avoid the tarmac... This can be very useful during periods of heavy rain. There are some good hills through meadows with herds of cows and farms, not to mention vineyards, of course!

An easy route, completely flat on small, quiet roads through vineyards and along the banks of the Dordogne. The verges and vineyards mean you don't always have to walk on tarmac.

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.
