Loupes, a peaceful village on the outskirts of Bordeaux

Loupes, a commune of about 1,200 inhabitants, is a peaceful residential village nestled between the vineyards of Entre-deux-Mers and the first extensions of the Bordeaux agglomeration. Despite its proximity to the metropolis, Loupes has managed to retain its rural character with its country lanes, vineyards, and orchards. The La Gardonne car boot sale contributes to the social life of this neighborhood where mutual aid and conviviality remain shared values.
