Balade à roulettes : Bègles Mussonville - Impraticable

The upper part of this 15-hectare park is protected from the floods of the Garonne. Inhabited since the 12th century, it is distinguished by its chapel, now converted into a theatre, its beautiful plantations and its playgrounds. In the lower part, a discovery trail allows those who are curious about nature to observe the fauna and flora of this wetland area criss-crossed by esteys.

As early as the 12th century, monks settled on the upper part of the park to protect themselves from the strong tides of the Garonne and organized a self-sufficient life. Six centuries later, the park was part of a vast agricultural estate called Le Tourmalin.

The Balades à Roulettes® (BR®) are short, quiet walks, with a pushchair or a small bicycle, or adapted for people with reduced mobility (in a wheelchair), proposed by the French Federation of Rambling of the Gironde.



How to get there

It's best to get there by streetcar: there are few spaces on avenue Labro. Stop at Parc Mussonville on streetcar line C.
From downtown Bordeaux, take Boulevard Albert 1er, then rue de Bègles. Continue straight on Cours Victor Hugo, Rue Ferdinand Buisson, Place de Strasbourg and Rue Alexis Labro.
