This event, the only one of its kind in France, is dedicated exclusively to walking in an urban environment, and offers routes to discover the most beautiful sites in the city of Bordeaux and the surrounding area.
At the Parc des Sports, on the banks of the Garonne, there is a choice of 5 walks: 7km, 10km, 13km, 19km and 23km, open to both Nordic walkers and hikers.
They are open to both Nordic walkers and hikers, and offer everyone from beginners to experienced Nordic walkers the chance to explore the Port de la Lune's emblematic UNESCO World Heritage sites and districts, both historic and contemporary.
At the same time, at the Parc des Sports on the banks of the Garonne, the Salon de la Marche Nordique® (Nordic Walking Show) will be offering free Nordic Walking events throughout the weekend, and will be welcoming a wide range of participants: equipment manufacturers and outdoor brands, companies specialising in sports nutrition, federations and associations, and local ambassadors.
Come and discover Bordeaux and the surrounding area on foot!
