Day 1

73 km

Bordeaux → La Réole

Set off early from Bordeaux for a rich and varied first day. The Roger Lapébie cycle path leads you through the Entre-deux-Mers region, past forests, vineyards, and renovated old train stations. You ride through Créon and Sauveterre-de-Guyenne before reaching La Réole, perched above the Garonne.

This charming medieval town is the perfect spot for an overnight stay: stroll its cobbled lanes, watch the sun set over the river, and enjoy a hearty dinner at a local inn. Overnight in La Réole.

Day 2

La Réole → Agen

In the morning, leave La Réole and head for the Garonne Canal at Fontet. From here, the ride becomes a gentle invitation to daydream: shaded greenways, majestic plane trees, and a peaceful atmosphere along the water.

You pass through Meilhan-sur-Garonne, Le Mas d’Agenais, and several small ports before arriving in Agen, crossing the stunning canal bridge into the town center. Celebrate the end of your trip with a delicious local meal.
