GAURIAC
Between Gauriac and Bourg, the corniche road runs along the Gironde estuary sometimes at the foot sometimes at the top of the cliff. Many troglodyte houses dot the landscape. You can see them from the road or walk past them on the hiking trails, but you can't visit them: some are still inhabited! This picturesque road is also nicknamed the flowered cornice or the road of the captains. During your walk you can admire the beautiful houses built by the old seafarers who brought back from their travels exotic species still visible in the gardens. This 10km course is punctuated by explanatory panels called windows on the estuary: the tidal bore, the islands, the fish, the wrecks... all the stories will be revealed to you. You can also see the squares up close and rent one!
