Activities
This is the prefect place from which to base your local sight seeing.
The area is largely unspoilt but abounds with things to see and
do. From local markets, a village locally has a market every day
of the week – and some even have night markets, which includes
entertainment. Being very rural the area is very popular with walkers,
hikers, cyclists – with many routes are available from our
reception or the local tourist bureau.
For the wine lovers we are on the border of the Bordeaux and Bergerac
regions, with many chateaux and vineyards offering wine tasting
and a full tour of the chetaeu and winery.
The larger towns of Bordeaux and Bergerac are both very close and
well worth a day out, maybe stopping off at St Emilion to buy
a bottle of the most famous wine in the World. Or perhaps a leisurely
trip down the Dordogne by boat – or for the more adventurous
by Kayak or Canoe.
For the children there is plenty to keep them happy – with
things like the waterparks, Go-karts, white water, Jetskis and water
sking on local lakes, cycling, and fishing.
When it all gets too much - laze about by the pool, while the children
play table tennis, table football, mini golf, climb the frame or
use the swings and other equipment.
In the evening why not take a short walk along the quiet road into
the village of Duras, sit in one of the bars and watch the world
go by – or if you’re
lucky, there maybe something happening in the chateau
or grounds, an opera, music, or a show, so much happens there.
