Your itinerary
Step 1: DEPARTURE FROM THE PUBLIC GARDEN
Leave with your back to the two Far Eastern-inspired lions on the pillars of the gate. This garden has long demarcated the town of Cozes with the surrounding fields.
Step 2: The old Cozes school
The school was built at the beginning of the XNUMXth century, in the outbuildings of the old Guillon house, facing the public garden. The architecture is characteristic of the schools of the Third Republic, with a monumental facade, symbol of the new secular republican institution.
Go up Allée des Soupirs to take Rue des Écoles then turn right onto Rue Neuve to join Boulevard de Bonnes Nouvelles.
Step 3: The cozillonne campaign
Leave the village via rue de Mombeuille, passing under the D730 to make a loop in the Cozillon countryside.
Between the Gironde and Seudre estuaries, this countryside is made up of fields (for cereals and oilseeds), vineyards and woods.
Step 4: The halls of Cozes
Return to the town center via Boulevard du Repos, Rue de la Cozillonne then Rue des Écoles.
Take rue des Halles on the left to discover the old market halls before returning to the starting point.
