Do you prefer sport and nature?



Are you ready for a cycle tour along the greenway from Bazas, the banks of the Canal Latéral à la Garonne or the wine routes?
You can cycle along the paths laid out along the Ciron. For the more sporty, you can discover the Ciron by canoe from the Bernos-Beaulac water sports centre. There are also a number of footpaths that allow you to discover the Landes de Gascogne park or the region's vineyards.
There's no shortage of natural sites in the Sud Gironde! Lakes for fishing, picnics or sporting afternoons, and the forests of the Landes de Gascogne for beautiful walks.
Lac de la Prade in Bazas, originally created to meet the irrigation needs of the local farming industry, with a surface area of 51 hectares, Lac de la Prade has become an important site for the protection of flora and fauna, particularly birds. Numerous observatories have been set up on the banks of the lake, as well as a range of events and nature tours.
Lac de Sigalens is a great place to relax. A footpath leads around the lake for a family walk, followed by a picnic in the shade on tables set out under the trees.

The Ciron valley. 97 km long, from Lubbon in the Landes to the Port of Barsac, it crosses the Landes de Gascogne plateau, the Bazadais plateau and the Sauternes hillsides. A very wild natural area, the morning mists form and encourage the appearance of the Botrytis cinerea fungus, essential to the production of Sauternes.
Lac de Taste in Captieux, an ideal place for walks and a must-see fishing spot in the Sud-Gironde. A sports trail is available for nature lovers, who can also enjoy the view of the lake while taking up running.
Base de loisir de Fontet. The ideal place to spend a day with the family. You can enjoy the swimming lake (supervised in July and August), fish and relax in the shade of the wooded park. Children's games are available, as well as a refreshment bar and snack bar.
Canal latéral à la Garonne The second part of the Canal du Midi, on the Atlantic side, was inaugurated in 1856. Running alternately alongside the Garonne river for 193km, the Canal du Midi "côté Atlantique" or Canal de la Garonne features a number of remarkable structures, including 53 locks and seven canal bridges.
Finally, a little further afield, the Domaine des lacs d'Hostens in the Landes de Gascogne Regional Nature Park.
