Villenave-d'Ornon

Villenave-d'Ornon is a residential commune on Bordeaux's southern edge with established neighborhoods and parks. The town sits along several waterways that shape its layout and create green corridors throughout the area.

The settlement developed gradually and accelerated its growth during the 19th century with the arrival of rail connections. These transportation links tied the town more closely to Bordeaux's economy and urban expansion.

The municipality organizes regular cultural initiatives through the 'Ma ville au collège' program, which integrates artistic education into local schools.

The railway station connects the town directly to Bordeaux and serves regional routes. Most neighborhoods are walkable, and local bus lines provide additional transport options for getting around.

A seasonal Christmas market at Pont-de-la-Maye draws crowds from across the region with local craftspeople and goods. The market serves as a gathering place for the community during the holiday season.
