Pessac spreads its residential neighbourhoods beneath the pines, bordering the Graves vineyards and stone houses with tiled roofs. The longhouses and small farms often come with barns, outbuildings and land for an orchard or garden, in a peaceful setting.
The Magonty and city centre markets, the Allées du Bourg, the Forêt du Bourgailh and its trails shape daily life. The Frugès houses – Le Corbusier, listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site, put the town on the map.
Bordeaux tramway, the train station and Bordeaux–Mérignac airport nearby make trips to the Arcachon basin, the estuary and the cycle paths easy. Fireplaces, beams and light-coloured stone here create a very Girondin way of life.
