Bourg, France

Bourg and Gironde by E-Bike

Pedal Through Idyllic French Countryside Cycle through the scenic landscape of southwestern France’s wine country on a panoramic tour by e-bike. At the pier, receive your helmet and a short briefing regarding your upcoming ride, then hop on your e-bike and follow your guide out of Bourg and along the Gironde estuary. Along the way, you will pass by vineyards, limestone cliffs and quarries, wine châteaux and more. You will make stops to learn more about the history, viticulture, various ecosystems and geology of the region. Admire views of the estuary as you pedal, and gain insight into the importance of Bayon-sur-Gironde’s Romanesque-style Church Notre-Dame, an important stop on the Camino de Santiago. Finish your tour with a downhill ride and enter Bourg through its medieval gate. Stop to enjoy refreshments and sweeping views of the Dordogne River at a local café, before cycling back to your ship. * Moderate - Walking portions may be long and somewhat challenging with occasional step-ups, stairs and inclines. Total time walking or standing normally ranges from 1.5 to 3 hours.
