Marathon du Médoc
If you're in Bordeaux in September, don't miss the Marathon du Médoc. Runners pass pretty chateaux and vineyards en route through the Médoc to Pauillac. Find a shady spot, crack open a bottle and cheer along with 55,000 other spectators.
The eve of the race sees the area's estates opening up their cellars and
grounds for a general spree of over-indulgence. Château Peyrabon holds a
Repas des Mille Pâtes (Thousand Pasta Dinner), while in the town
of Pauillac, particularly on the quays of Gironde, the party continues
well into the night.
On the Sunday morning the Balade de Recuperation, a 10km walk (followed by lunch) through the rest of the valley, provides an opportunity to taste more of the region's pride.
