Birac-sur-Trec, des coteaux à la plaine de Garonne
From the village of Birac, located in the first foothills of the Marmandais hills, this loop climbs to 130 m, before descending to the sandy slopes of the Garonne valley.
Birac-sur-Trec is located on a territory bathed by the waters of the Trec and Canaule rivers. Its strategic location has been coveted for centuries by many families of the region, after having passed successively into English and French hands during the Hundred Years' War.
The seigneury of Birac is first mentioned in the 13th century. A castle and a church were built there at that time.
