BORDEAUX - CUSSAC-FORT-MEDOC - BLAYE(2) - LIBOURNE(2) - Saint-Emilion - BORDEAUX

This exclusive cruise combines the pleasures of a vacation on the water with hiking. Five days to explore the first-rate paths in the Gironde. Trek across the banks of an estuary dotted with traditional fishing cabins, through Bordeaux and its historic downtown, along the Fort-Médoc Loop following the footsteps of French military engineer Vauban, and into the medieval city of Saint-Émilion and its vineyards.


The Fédération Française de Randonnées has chosen vigorous or family-friendly hikes focusing on nature and culture, just for you. Their ultimate priority is helping you explore the magnificent Gironde Region.
