There are markets virtually every day in the surrounding towns and villages, great for stocking up with all those French goodies for your holiday. They fill the streets with the lovely atmosphere you would expect “au marché”. Night Markets take place through July and August, with music, food and a variety of stalls to browse.
For the culture vulture, the towns of Agen, Bergerac and Bordeaux are well worth a visit, as are the many bastide (fortified) villages that line the river valleys.
And then, of course, there’s the wine! We are surrounded by the vineyards of Cotes de Duras and Cotes Marmandais, with St Emilion, Graves and Bergerac appellations less than an hour away.
Finally, for that day at the seaside, the Atlantic beaches are just an hour and three quarters away.
