Bordeaux / Créon The Tour de Gironde by bike

In Bordeaux, after the stone bridge, a route along river Garonne takes you to Latresne, starting point for the excellent Roger Lapébie cycle trail named after the 1937 Tour de France winner. Remarkably well laid-out, with several reception areas in vintage railway stations, this former railway line takes us to Créon and its famous bike station. Once a fortified town, this attractive little burough laid out around a central square with distinctive arches is definitely worth a visit.
