You can do as much or as little as you like, there is something for everyone. The area boasts a host of pretty villages and Bastide towns with several interesting local markets to visit.

This beautiful stone property dates back to 1861 and recently restored (2007) to a very high standard, maintains many original features such as high vaulted ceilings, wooden beams and stone walls.

The Aquitaine / Dordogne / Gironde region

The Aquitaine has a wonderful climate. Summer temperatures average mid to high twenties. Warm days generally begin from mid April. There is plenty to do and see in the area, or just recline on a sun lounger by the pool and read a book.There is something for everyone; visit the coastal town of Arcachon with its historic buildings and superb seafood restaurants. For young children there is Lacanau Lac, a small in-shore lake perfect for paddling, pedaloes and biking.

The region is renowned for its abundance of fine wines which are known throughout the world, especially the warm full bodied red wines of the Bordeaux region. There are many local domains, chateaux and co-operatives offering wine tasting.

St-Emilion is a 40 minute drive away and a memorable day out, one not to be missed.

Visit pre-historic caves or one of the numerous châteaus.

The Sainte Foy-la-Grande / St Quentin de Caplong area

There are a number of points along the river where one can hire canoes or kayaks - just head down to the riverside and look out for signposts! Drift back, stopping for a picnic lunch, a swim and view the stunning scenery.

It has a lively and colourful market every Monday morning and there are several bars and restaurants, as well as the Chateau of the Ducs de Duras, now a museum and open to the public to explore. The chateau hosts concerts and events, including a wine fair in the summer featuring the local appellation, the Cotes de Duras.
