Le Moulleau
This area of the city was born from the desire of two Bordeaux residents, Mr Grangeneuve and Mr Papin, to create a new climate station. They bought 32 hectares of land and then called on the architect Louis Garros to build a chapel that was entrusted to the Dominicans. Built from a square in 1933, the surroundings of Notre-Dame des Passes have been decorated since 1958 with a Virgin sculpted by Henri Carlier.
Today, this district combines shops and cafes. Its pedestrian promenade, with its bronze cannon coming from the battery set up by Napoleon I at the time of the Continental Blockade, and its pier are must-see places.
You can walk on this pedestrian promenade and the pier. However, parking at the parking lot near the church is preferred.
