Balade à roulettes : Monségur Le Dropt

Nestled between the Dordogne and Garonne valleys, in the heart of the Entre-deux-Mers region,

Monségur is the only hilltop bastide in the Gironde. Founded in 1265 by Éléonore de Provence, it retains the layout of medieval new towns. In the narrow

medieval streets, you’ll discover half-timbered houses. The Governor’s Tower, built in the

Flamboyant Gothic style, stands just a few meters from the central square. From the

parapet walk, a path leads to the towpath for a stroll along

the banks of the Dropt.

The “Balades sur Roulettes” (BR) are short, leisurely walks suitable for strollers or small bikes, or adapted for people with limited mobility (in wheelchairs), offeredby the Gironde branch of the French Hiking Federation.



How to get there

From the center of Monségur, head back down toward Rimons Sauveterre on the D230. But after a few hundred meters, before crossing the Dropt River, park on the right in the parking lot located below the road. (Height limit: 2.10 m).
