Day 3: Cadillac – Saint-Emilion – 50 km

Today you will leave for another day of discovery of Bordeaux wines. You will cross great vineyards from the Garonne to the Dordogne, passing through charming villages such as Razan, known for its medieval castle, a witness to our past. Then you will head towards one of the stops essential to your tour, the village of Saint Emilion and its many historical monuments.

Day 4: Saint-Emilion – Blaye – 64 km

The day’s stopover will take you to Blaye and its citadel overlooking the Gironde, listed as a historical monument. To reach this small village steeped in history, you will cycle through the vineyards of the Côtes de Blay.

Day 5: Blaye – Bordeaux – 61 km (Pauillac option + 20 km)

To reach the Médoc vineyards and the village of Lamarque, you will take a ferry to cross the Gironde! For lovers of the great vintages you can now offer yourself an escape to Pauillac, it will lengthen this last stage a little bit but the game is worth it!
