The Owner Recommends

St Emilion

Arguably the wine capital of the world, St Emilion is around a 25 minute drive from Les ,Pignons and with its cobbled streets, monolithic church and abundance of wine shops and boutiques, is an exceptional historic town to visit.

Bordeaux

The capital city of the region, sitting alongside the Garonne river, Bordeaux is both beautiful and interesting to visit. With an excellent tram system all the sights can be seen in a day, including the opera house, Cite du Vin, the golden triangle, the redeveloped quay area, and of course in the winter, the Christmas market.

Duras castle

Duras is just 10km from Les Pignons and it's magnificent chateau can be seen for miles. During the summer months, experience the fabulous 4D light show held in the castle. A great place to visit added to by a stop at the local artisan chocolate shop on the way home!

Vineyard visits and winetasting

Les Pignons is surrounded by vineyards offering winetasting and if requested, a talk about the wine making process. All can be booked for you by your hosts.

Kayaking on the Dordogne river

A half hour drive brings you to the beautiful Dordogne river where there are a number of opportunities to kayak along this gentle picturesque waterway. With boars available for one, two, three or four people, there is something to suit all groups and can be booked for you by your hosts.

Summer night markets

During the summer months, a number of the local towns hold night markets where people meet to eat a wide selection of food and drink, listen to music and just sit and soak up the french way of life. There is one for most days of the week so if you want a holiday with no cooking, this could be for you!

Acrobranche....great fun for all the family!

Acrobranche is situated approximately 15 minutes away and involves a tree top adventure for all the family including a number of zip wires, some of which take you across a lake! For all ages from 3 years upwards.
