De Bouliac, on its hillside overlooking the Garonne valley and the city of Bordeaux, the hiker joins Cenac then Creon. The bastide created at the crossroads of paths retains its square central square lined with arcades dominated by the town hall.

then looms Rauzan, a medieval village nestled around its church, in the shadow of the powerful keep of its feudal castle, one of the most important fortresses in the Gironde.
Then comes Blasimon, the latest of the bastides, unfinished. It retains its medieval covers: there is the town hall, a classic construction with its arcades. The abbey and the Saint-Nicolas church are renowned for their sculpted Romanesque portal (one of the most beautiful in the department) and right next to it, for its conventual buildings.
Then comes Sauveterre-de-Guyenne, a very remarkable country house with four main streets overlooking the four fortified city gates, whose central square is punctuated by vast covered spaces.
Castelmoron-d'Albret, the smallest town in France, perched on its rock, then extends its arms to you: the small streets and its very picturesque buildings will seduce you!
The journey ends at Monsegur, country house overlooking the Drot valley, with streets lined with old half-timbered houses. On the square, a cast iron and glass hall does not go unnoticed.
