Civrac-en-Medoc, FranceCivrac lies in the northern part of the Medoc, just southwest of the Gironde Estuary. The Gironde Estuary is the confluence of two big rivers (the Dordogne and the Garonne) and as makes its way to the sea, the Medoc forms a peninsula bound by the Atlantic on one side and the Gironde on the other.
Biking in this area is wonderful—totally flat and with many small roads that
are virtually without cars. Google Maps (for bikes) does an excellent job
picking out the best (and least traveled by car) routes. As one reaches the Gironde,
a wide open stretch of water greets you—with more of France on the other side.
The serenity and relatively stark winter beauty is lovely...
