The Margaux châteaux loop

Between the vineyards and the estuary, the Margaux-Cantenac châteaux loop invites you on an unforgettable walk or cycle ride. Every bend reveals an architectural gem, a prestigious château and the fascinating history of an exceptional terroir.

An exceptional route between heritage and nature

From Margaux to Cantenac, passing through Issan, Lascombes and Marojallia, you’ll drive past 18 of the 21 emblematic châteaux of the Médoc, veritable showcases for the world’s finest vintages. In just a few kilometres, the centuries pass by as you pass elegant facades and vine-lined avenues.

An exceptional panorama of the Gironde estuary

This loop offers much more than a simple hike: it takes you to the banks of the estuary, where the view stretches out over Margaux Island and its aquatic landscapes. A soothing interlude, where nature sublimates the grandeur of the vineyards.

Easy and accessible in all seasons

With an ideal starting point at the car park opposite the Maison du Vin et du Tourisme de Margaux, this trail is accessible to all, even families. Marked out in an anti-clockwise direction, it’s easy to follow thanks to the coloured arrows. Make sure you’re well equipped for the weather and the activity!

A few tips to help you make the most of your walk

The vine is a fragile treasure: respect it by not picking grapes or berries. To stay hydrated, water points are indicated on the map. Above all, enjoy every moment while respecting nature and the animals that inhabit this unique territory.
