New PDIPR 2026 route:

Set off on a hike in Budos, a village in the heart of the Landes Girondines, where history, nature and heritage come together at every turn. Dominating the landscape, the imposing ruins of the 14th-century fortified castle serve as a reminder of the power of the lords of yesteryear. It perfectly illustrates the style of the Clémentine castles. You’ll follow paths lined with vineyards on gravelly soil, alternating with wooded landscapes. A few panoramic views of the Ciron valley and vineyards will punctuate the route.
