Espiet tunnel

Highlight (Segment) • Other

Here is an essential site on the Roger Lapébie trail. It is an old railway tunnel converted to be integrated into the cycle path. It brings freshness in summer. It is quite impressive to pass there.

From Bordeaux to Saint Martin de Lerm.
Very flat route on a paved track only for bicycles and walkers. Total absence of cars. You just have to be a little careful at intersections.

After an initial stretch on the sword of the Garonne, you leave the river and follow the Roger-Lapébie track, created from an old railway: long, easy, completely paved, immersed in the woods... a delight! 19 km follow between fields and poplar groves to La Réole, which has reasons of interest, but also many lowered shutters and empty houses, and on …

I prayed for sun and sun is what I got! After a morning of riding through the mist in the forest outside of Bordeaux, I rode through miles of sunflower fields and then the path opened up to vinyards as far as you could see. At that point, the sun came out in full force. I could see the heatwaves …

The 60 km traveled on the beautiful former railway, now a Roger Lapebie cycle path were perfect.
Shaded, sheltered cycle path, each old station converted into a rest stop, bar, restaurant. Enjoy multiple stops, from coffee with a sweet treat to lunch in the shade, from the obsessively maintained castle to the path that passes through the endless vineyards.
Truly …

Ah, how good it is to find good cycle paths.
Up to Sauveterre de Guyenne it's flat and it's a pleasure to ride on these shady paths.
After Sauveterre and up to La Réole, the relief becomes more serious and you take almost all the elevation gain of the day.

A beautiful walk with very few roads, the stop at the guinguette of the Meillan sur Garonne campsite is magical on Sundays!
