Blaye / Bordeaux

Over on the other side, you can discover the jewel in the crown of the Verrou Vauban (the Vauban defensive system): Fort Médoc. Next, it's time to explore the Bordeaux Wine Route in Médoc as you pass through the world-renowned Margaux area. The route continues along small roads which pass through the Médoc's vineyards, small hedged fields and moorland as far as Bordeaux. From Blanquefort, an undemanding route takes you to Bordeaux, an attractive and dynamic city with interesting urban features, mixing classical and neo-classical architecture with 18th century buildings and districts converted into stylish cultural establishments.
