**The ride:**Our urban scout Frédéric immerses you in the charm of this district. La Garonne reminds us of its maritime past, lets us contemplate the beauty of its banks, without forgetting the industries that have strongly marked the local life. Traces left by the Second World War, passing through the “shadow” of the luminous city and the beautiful resurrection of the Claveau city, until now always in solidarity with the neighbourhood… It is indeed a journey that awaits you!
The walk is organized in partnership with Aquitanis. It will end with a meeting with an associative actor of the neighborhood and refreshments offered to walkers.
**The association:**The Alternative Urbaine Bordeaux is developing a form of local and supportive tourism.
We have two missions:
Organize unusual walks in the unfamiliar or unfamiliar areas of the metropolis to contribute to a change of look
→ Train and then hire local residents away from work to lead a cultural season of walks as an urban scout. This paid activity is a springboard back to a chosen and sustainable job.

If it is a district with «the maritime temper» stuck to its History, it is that of Bacalan or of the Basins to flow! Opening onto the Atlantic horizons and facing the Chaban-Delmas Lift Bridge, a new eclectic urban panorama emerges.
Port of all the sailors of the world, this outskirts of Bordeaux welcomed in the nineteenth century, the largest ships, with «heavy belly» of fruits and cereals. A major industrial hub, with its floating basins and radoubs, this historic site has always kept its old style and its unique identity.
Cosmopolitan and vibrant, the district of Les Bassins à flot is still filled with this popular memory, resonating with trade union struggles, marked by the German occupation, then abandoned to the waters of the Garonne, before being reborn today. The only secret still well kept by the genius of the place: the etymology of the Bacalan district. Some claim that this colourful suburb owes its name to the Newfoundlanders, who went fishing for bacalao (cod in Portuguese
