Cenon

Palmer Park covers 25 hectares. It is a very pleasant place to walk allowing you to discover beautiful panoramas of Bordeaux. It is made up of vast rolling meadows, paths lined with trees and flowers. Château Palmer belonged to Charles Palmer, Mayor of Bath and Major of the English armies who fought against Napoleon during the Spanish Civil War. On the Bordeaux side, a large stone terrace is supported by four pairs of Doric columns.

The Balades à Roulettes® (BR®) are short, quiet walks, with a stroller or a small bicycle, or adapted for people with reduced mobility (in a wheelchair), offered by the French Hiking Federation of the Gironde.
