In Bordeaux, as elsewhere, water has always been a key factor in the city’s establishment and development. Even if the Garonne is essential, it is around some springs and the rivers Devèze and Peugue now covered, that the first inhabitants settled. Our journey in the old Bordeaux to the Garonne, will evoke the evolution of water resources, their uses and their quantity and quality, from antiquity to today through the Middle Ages and the 19th century.
This walk is proposed by the association Terre & Océan with the support of L'Eau Bordeaux Métropole.
