Hiking
Magnificent bridge connecting Bacalan to the Brazza quays. It was completed at the end of 2012 and made traffic in Bordeaux more fluid. It offers a magnificent walk between the right bank and the left bank, making a loop of just under seven kilometers between the Pierre bridge and the Chaban-Delmas bridge. It's quite impressive to see it open and close. It’s clearly a must!

To allow larger ships to pass through, the middle section can be pulled up using cables.

The passengers of pleasure boats (still) insist on a short route between the bar, the shopping area and the cabin and port cities are paying a lot for this.
Bordeaux solved the problem with a lifting bridge, not inexpensive, but elegant and with four pylons, each 77 m high, impressively designed as a “gateway” to the city.
Even large passenger ships can fit under the 117 m long, 2,500 t middle section of the roadway when it is raised by a maximum of 53 m.
