More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You ease into the creaky leather seat of a Citroën 2CV convertible; the engine murmurs and the lane opens into rows of vines that angle toward the Gironde. The car threads country roads between gravelly ridges and shaded stands of pine, the landscape changing from neat vine rows to the wide façades of 19th‑century châteaux.
