Nature & small heritage

The route continues along the cycle track, where former railway stations and buildings at level crossings remind us that trains ruled here before bikes! We recommend that you take a detour to La Sauve to admire the former abbey of Sauve-Majeure and the church of Saint Pierre, both listed as UNESCO world heritage sites as part of the Santiago de Compostela routes. This is followed by the fortified gates of Sauveterre-de-Guyenne, leading to the central square surrounded by arches, in the heart of this former walled town dating from 1281.
