La Scandibérique
A cycle route between Bordeaux, La Brède and HostensCycle through the lands of Montesquieu and its surroundings along the sections of the Eurovelo 3, called in France "La Scandibérique". This European cycle route that links Trondheim (Norway) to Santiago de Compostela (Spain) crosses France on 1700 km of cycle routes. There are two routes in Montesquieu's territory: the first connects Bordeaux to La Brède and the second connects La Brède to Hostens in the southern Gironde.
From Bordeaux, a 10 km urban route, mostly on a secure cycle path, leads to Gradignan before reaching a more rural environment between streams, green spaces and Landes forest. This second section of 6 km is a shared route on the road to the village of La Brède.
Starting from the old station of La Brède, take the section "La Brède-Hostens". It follows a 26 km greenway through the pine forest and several protected natural areas. Along the way, discover the Graves vineyards, the Gironde moorland forest and the Gât Mort river in Cabanac-et-Villagrains.
