LIGNAN-DE-BORDEAUX
Do you like hiking in nature? The Lignan-de-Bordeaux loop is made for you! Leaving the village, you will quickly find yourself in the heart of lush vegetation, between forest, vineyard and small stream. A complete change of scenery, just a few minutes from Bordeaux. Our favorite: pass along old stone quarries located in the woods. If you keep your eyes open, you can see different entrances, more or less hidden by tree branches and ferns. A part that is very refreshing, especially in summer! The route also takes part of the famous Roger Lapébie cycle path, built on an old railway line and which connects Bordeaux to Sauveterre-de-Guyenne.
Departure from the car park opposite the restaurant Le Bistrot de la Pimpine.
