River trips

Another way to discover the Médoc is by embarking on an unforgettable river trip on the Gironde Estuary. Just a few kilometres from Margaux, Pauillac invites you to sail this natural jewel, ranked among the most beautiful in Europe.

The Gironde Estuary stretches over 635 km², and offers you an exceptional backdrop. Set off on a guided cruise and discover grandiose landscapes, mysterious islands and an incredibly rich heritage. On this trip, you’ll have the opportunity to admire:

The island of Patiras and its iconic lighthouse.
The carrelets, the huts on stilts used by fishermen.
The fascinating history of the river, the vine and the people who have shaped this region.

Whether you’re a nature lover or simply in search of tranquillity, a cruise on the estuary will allow you to discover the Médoc from a different, more soothing and contemplative angle.

A stopover between estuary and art of living

Before or after your cruise, enjoy a stopover on the quays of Pauillac, the longest in the department at 1,300 metres long. Stroll through the picturesque alleyways of this iconic wine town, and soak up the Médoc art of living. Between nature, culture and gastronomy, Pauillac offers the perfect break to round off your day.
