How to get to Pauillac for the Médoc Marathon?

From Bordeaux, 50 km away, several options are available: the TER Nouvelle-Aquitaine (Bordeaux–Pointe de Grave line), the official shuttle buses, or the D2 ("Route des Châteaux") by car. Free parking is available on the outskirts of the town center, but arrive early: roads close from 7:30 a.m. for the passage of the marathon.
