Route details
Description
The loop of the Lagune d'Enfer, which crosses vast forest areas, presents contrasts that contribute to the landscape quality of the hike.
The pine forest is an important resource in the rural economy of this sector. If the pine dominates, it nevertheless coexists in certain sectors (south of the D252) with other species such as oak, chestnut, birch and poplar. The forest, the Double Girondine, therefore also structures the landscapes. The proposed loop is also an opportunity to approach asparagus fields, easily identifiable by the presence of regularly raised mounds of earth. White asparagus from Blayais is gradually establishing itself as a flagship product of Haute Gironde. You will also discover on the route the miraculous fountain of Saugon and the very beautiful church of Générac, with its imposing square and fortified bell tower.
