SAINT-SYMPHORIAN

In the footsteps of François Mauriac, discover the Paroupian country and the great diversity of its rural heritage (monumental finery of its town), witness to its industrial past.

You will be seduced by these landscapes of moors, dotted with pines and heather. The path follows a section of the Bazas-Mios cycle path, located on the right-of-way of the former Compagnie des Chemins de Fer Economiques line.

If you are lucky you can admire a moment deer and hare at the edge of the woods.
