Day 18: Sauveterre de Guyenne to Leognan: Cycle path Roger Lapebie

Track J4 63 km

Today is our last day trip. Everything went smooth thanks to Phlippe. We were lucky to have only 2 days of sprinkles rain.

We had an appointment with Gerard, one of Philippe'friends. The 3 of us had a good meal in a local restaurant in Creon.

We will bike on 55 km bicycle path Roger La Pépébie a former railway track linking Sauveterre de Guyenne to Latresne before Bordeaux at Pont D'Arcin. The last 14 km are a nice slope following a small river of " Entre deux mer " - " In between the two sea " called " La Pimpine" going to La Garonne.

Leaving the hotel in Sauvetere de Guyenne, outside temperature was 14°C and we had to put our rain gears to remain warm.
