Clearings in the pines
Neighbourhoods sit in openings cut from the Landes forest, so the map shows separate islands of streets surrounded by plain space rather than one continuous built-up area.

The map
Cestas lies on the south-western edge of the Bordeaux metropolitan area, where the suburbs give way to the great pine forest of the Landes de Gascogne. From above, it is not one compact town. It is a series of residential quarters and hamlets set in clearings, joined by roads that cut straight through the trees.
A motorway toward the Atlantic coast runs close by, with business parks along some of its approaches. Cestas is also known for one of Europe's largest solar farms, opened in 2015 on former forest land, which shows on detailed maps as a vast geometric block among the pines. Streams wind through the woodland in thin lines.
A Cestas map poster has an unusual rhythm. Small clusters of cul-de-sacs and lanes are separated by broad open space and linked by long straight roads. The forest leaves plenty of white on the page, so the effect is calm and slightly abstract. It suits families who chose the green edge of Bordeaux as their home.
Neighbourhoods sit in openings cut from the Landes forest, so the map shows separate islands of streets surrounded by plain space rather than one continuous built-up area.
The large solar installation built in the 2010s forms a sharply rectangular pattern within the forest, a modern landmark that is clearly visible from the air.
Long, direct roads run through the pines between the hamlets and toward Bordeaux, giving the poster clean lines that tie the scattered pieces together.

Why Cestas
People choose Cestas for space, trees and quick access to Bordeaux. A map showing its clusters of homes in the forest is a fitting piece for a first house, a family move or a return to the Gironde after years away.
