What to do in the area and beyond

Situated near the towns of Duras (6km) and Monsegur (15km) in the region of Aquitaine within the Bordeaux wine region and on the border of the Dordogne, Gironde and Lot et Garonne.

These picturesque bastide towns are home to weekly traditional French markets where villagers shop for local produce, meet friends, enjoy a coffee and croissant, and watch the world go by. A popular night market is also held each week during the summer months, where street food and entertainment are the backdrop for the evening. Each town offers a good selection of restaurants, cafés, bars, pharmacies and banks, as well as the all-important boulangerie for fresh croissants, crusty bread, handmade chocolates and gifts.

A comprehensive Carrefour supermarket and petrol station can be found at Duras (6km) or Monsegur (15km). Larger hypermarkets are available in Sainte-Foy-la-Grande, 18km away.
