Meschers-sur-gironde

Boucle VTC – La Boucle de Meschers-sur-Gironde

Go back in time and discover the heritage of our territory and its jewels of Romanesque art on one of the old roads of Santiago de Compostela.
You will walk between the river and the hills and discover the small villages nestled in the hollows of the valleys. At each turn of the winding roads, your gaze will escape towards the Estuary whose changing colors highlight the landscape.

Your getaway will be filled with treasures and curiosities to observe:
– Talmont-sur-Gironde, classified “Most Beautiful Villages in France” and “Villages of Stones and Water”
– The Fâ archaeological site in Barzan
– The troglodyte caves of Meschers, dug into the cliff.

Access details

The section of the route between Cozes and Fontenille runs along limestone paths that are not suitable for road bikes. Gravel, hybrid, or city bikes are required. Cozes is halfway along the route and can be used as a stopover town.
