In Pauillac, the route follows the estuary and the vineyard to the port of Saint-Julien-de-Beychevelle, where a picnic area offers a spectacular view of the Gironde and its “carrelets.” The arrival at Fort Médoc marks the end of this stage. Classified as a Historical Monument, this iconic site in Gironde was built by Vauban in 1689. This structure is part of the Vauban Lock, a unique defensive triptych in France, also including the Citadel of Blaye and Fort-Pâté.
