The very popular medieval town of Saint-Emilion is best explored on foot due to its narrow, steep streets (tertres) and stair-like streets (escalettes).

This stage, with its wine-growing atmosphere, leads to the banks of the Dordogne, which you cross at Branne, then gently climbs  the hillsides to the Roger Lapédie greenway, built on a former railway line, passes close to the remarkable ruins of the Abbey of La Sauve-Majeur and then reaches the Créon cycle station.

Don’t miss the “Ouvre la voix” cycling and music festival in early September: a bike ride along the greenway, musical entertainment and concerts.
