Cycling Spots around Entre-Deux-Mers / Saint-Émilion
Bordeaux
The best routes and climbs are located east of Bordeaux. The Entre-Deux-Mers region is bordered by the Garonne river to the south and the Dordogne to the north. The towns of Libourne and Créon can be very interesting places to base yourself. You will be in the heart of the vineyards and close to the best cycling routes.
Don't miss the climb to Saint Emilion when entering the town from the Côte de La Madeleine. The view is spectacular! After a coffee break in the heart of the old town, continue on the hillside road to Castillon la Bataille then return along the banks of the Dordogne.
Further south, the climbs on the Garonne hillsides are the most famous for those looking to gain some elevation gain. The views are splendid. The climb of Pied du Château in Langoiran or that of Sainte Croix du Mont are unmissable attractions in the region.
The advantage of Entre-Deux-Mers is the innumerable quantity of roads and their quality. The route possibilities are endless.
