The arrival at Lamarque is great

easy to get to the Médoc

A ferry crosses the estuary between Blaye and Lamarque. Bicycles are of course welcome and the crossing costs the same as for a pedestrian (€4.50 in August 2024). Check the timetables on the department website: gironde.fr

New site for timetables: https://ccb-blaye.com/economie-et-tourisme/tourisme/les-heures-du-bac-blaye-lamarque/ Very simple boarding for cyclists, just be on time at the ferry to board at the same time as pedestrians.

The small port of Plassac is typical of the esteys of the Gironde estuary. It is in the heart of the ancient village with a Gallo-Roman villa. A Terra Aventura route, combining hiking and discovery, allows you to get to know Plassac better. During your visit, you can also admire mosaics displayed in the alleys of the village: they were created by the inhabitants and by the Babylon Mosaic workshop-boutique. A stepped earthen dike made it possible to shape the current configuration of the port, making it possible to create 44 places reserved for pleasure craft. A rocky groyne protects the entrance to the port. 22 gangways provide access to the boats and boaters can benefit from a water tap, electrical outlets and a light point. https://www.bbte.fr/equipements-de-loisirs/port-de-plassac/

Worth seeing fortress, unfortunately the weather was not nice for further explorations.

Since we wanted to continue with the ferry, but still had 60 minutes until the next crossing, we looked at this pretty citadel. There is also a café that invites you to linger.

Citadel built under Vauban to protect the port of Blaye. https://de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zitadelle_Blaye
