Discover Saint-Caprais-De-Bordeaux

These highlights can help you plan a stay focused on architecture, time outdoors, exercise or a particular weekly schedule.

The parish church’s building history

The first building of the parish church of Saint-Caprais probably dates from the 11th century. The apse and western elevation date from the 12th century. This distinguishes the probable origins of the first building from two architectural elements dated to a later period. An apse forms the architectural end of the choir; the western elevation refers to the church building’s western façade. Those interested in architecture can therefore look out for two different aspects: the early building history and the later-dated elements. The church can be understood in terms of these building phases, without attributing the entire structure broadly to a single century.

Parc Jacquotte and play areas

Parc Jacquotte was redesigned in 2023. In summer, it offers plenty of shade and is designed as a relaxing, fun place for young and old alike, where you can sit, read and picnic. Facilities include play equipment, tables, benches and a book box. The playground for toddlers at Place des commerces also has play equipment, benches and a book box. The different focus of each area can help you choose: at Parc Jacquotte, you can sit, read and picnic; the other area is specifically designated as a playground for toddlers. This gives you two distinct options: a park for an outdoor break and a play area for young children.

Mountain biking, Nordic walking and hikes

Boojovtt accompanies mountain bikers along the trails of Entre-deux-Mers. The association also organises discovery outings and social outings. If you would like to take part, check current dates and participation requirements directly with Boojovtt. Nordic walking and hikes are among the sporting activities offered by the Association Sportive et Culturelle des Jumelages. For hikes, coordinate your participation with the association. The activities thus differ according to the type of exercise you are looking for; direct any specific arrangements to the relevant organisation. If you want to fit an activity into a particular day of your stay, factor in questions about dates and participation early in your planning.

Sunday market and public transport

The Sunday market is held every Sunday morning from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. in the village square. As opening times can change, check the schedule before your visit. This time slot gives you a specific point of reference for planning Sunday morning; association outings, by contrast, should be planned around current dates and participation arrangements. Public transport in Saint-Caprais-De-Bordeaux is provided by the TransGironde network. If you plan to use public transport, check the current network information for your travel dates, as the network may change.
