The Burgundy Gate is located at the end of the old Salinières moat, now Cours Victor-Hugo (formerly Rue des Fossés), on the site of the old medieval Salinières Gate. It marks the official entrance to the city on the old road leading to Paris. The Burgundy Gate is located on Place Bir-Hakeim, opposite the stone bridge, and opens onto Cours Victor Hugo. To replace the old rampart, Intendant Tourny decided to encircle the city with tree-lined promenades punctuated by squares adorned with gates (Porte Dijeaux, Porte de Bourgogne, Porte d'Aquitaine, etc.). Tourny wanted it to be an accompaniment to the Place Royale (now Place de la Bourse) and dedicated it to Prince Monseigneur the Duke of Burgundy on January 24, 1757. It was once the Porte Napoléon to celebrate the Emperor's arrival in Bordeaux in 1808.

Formerly Place du Pont, then Place Napoléon in 1843, the mayor of Cenon (at the time, La Bastide had not yet been annexed by Bordeaux) wanted to pay homage to the Emperor, to whom we owe the stone bridge. It became Place du Pont again in 1870. In 1946, Place du Lion was renamed Stalingrad, in memory of the decisive Soviet victory over the Germans, at the cost of terrible fighting in 1942-1943. Initially, it was intended to be monumental. Designed by the architect Claude Deschamps, it was difficult to build. Planned to be round, it was ultimately rectangular, filled in and leveled only in 1840. Of the uniform houses that were to line it, only those framing the beginning of Avenue Thiers remain. Over the years, a square was created there, surrounded by railings. The highly attractive square hosted a flower market on Thursdays, then, around 1860, a food market, and was also home to the popular Alcazar café-concert. In the 20th century, the reign of the automobile brought about a further transformation: from a living and meeting place, the square became a bus station for all buses on the right bank. This was until the renovation carried out at the very beginning of the 21st century by architects Brochet, Lajus, Pueyo, and Fortier, to accommodate the return of the tram in 2003. This was accompanied by the installation in 2005 of the famous Giant Lion, designed by Lyon-based visual artist Xavier Veilhan. The statue is part of the public commission placed by the CUB (Bordeaux Urban Community, now Bordeaux Métropole) for works of art intended to enrich the municipalities of the Bordeaux metropolitan area crossed by the new tramway. The soft blue of the sculpture, visible from the other side, blends, depending on the viewing angle, with the color of the sky. Cast in resin on a metal frame, like a large toy, Veilhan's great beast parodies the tradition of commemorative monuments - the lions of Belfort or the Place Denfert-Rochereau in Paris - but celebrates nothing in particular. On the other hand, it signals the new identity of the square, affirming contemporary art in the city, in a former industrial and working-class district, redeveloped after having been abandoned for a long time.

3 hours to walk just around the lake, which you barely see due to the vegetation. The only access point to the lake is the small beach where dogs are allowed on a leash. This is completely out of line with the advertised duration. There's very little view of the lake, and a lot of trash on the route, half of which is a paved bike path. A good portion passes through squats, shantytowns, garbage dumps, and other signs of human activity with little respect for nature. A good portion runs along the highway. In short, it was a disappointment for us; we don't recommend this route.

Very beautiful footbridge over the lake

487 meters long, the stone bridge crosses the Garonne to leave the city center of Bordeaux. A place to get off your bike and enjoy the view before getting down to business.

A few kilometers from Bordeaux, Saint-Médard is on the road to Lacanau beach. Between countryside and city, this town has a forest nearby, as well as a very beautiful cycle path.

Cailhaut door. Built between 1493 and 1495 on the site of an old defensive gate, during its siglos at the main entrance to the city, located directly on the river.

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.

During this first day, you leave Bordeaux via the legendary cycle path which goes to Lacanau. From the Bordeaux Lac area, you will be completely sheltered from cars until the end of the stage. Be careful of road cyclists who can travel quite quickly on the track. At the start of the cycle path, between Bordeaux and Saint-Médard-en-Jalles, there are shops and bakeries to get you something to eat. Don't be shy because afterwards, until Lacanau, there are only fountains. Take advantage of the Salaunes area to take a break in the shade and fill your cans. The cycle path ends at Lake Lacanau which breaks the continuity of the pine forest landscape: you enter the wild section of this first stage. You then cross the dunes which separate Lake Lacanau from Lake Hourtin. This is my favorite part of this section! When you arrive in Maubuisson, it's time to refresh yourself: a swim in the beach or the lake, a drink or an ice cream... You are spoiled for choice! From Maubuisson to the shores of Lake Hourtin, there is only one step. You can spend the night in one of the two campsites between Maubuisson and Carcans. Comment from Tim Bsn on his circuit

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

With the 4 slim pylons on which the bridge with the middle segment can be pulled up, the bridge looks very futuristic.

Nice trail, out of traffic with a great view of the lake

You can see a great view of the quays, be careful all the same because the bridge can rise to let the boats pass underneath and therefore close the cycle path and the road... please inquire beforehand!
