Stroll along the hidden streams (Cestas, Canéjan, Gradignan, Villenave d'Ornon, Bègles)

Discover one of the prettiest and original country walks of the Green Loop, in the Bordeaux metropolis: the one that takes you "along the Bourde River".

A surprising urban  walk

River of the metropolis, L’eau Bourde crosses, from Cestas, the municipalities of Canéjan, Gradignan, Villenave d'Ornon and Bègles to then flow into the Garonne. By following it from Cestas, treat yourself to a beautiful walk or mountain bike ride. Bucolic and refreshing, the course "over the water bourde" is between 5 and 9 km and can be done quietly over a day.

On your way, you will discover the Moulin de Rouillac, the site of Cayac, the Moulin de Monjous, the Parc René Canivenc-Le Moulineau (animal park, aquarium and vivarium, mill, pond, merry-go-round), Parc Pelissey and Parc de the Tannery.
