Location description
This beautiful region of southwest France, lying between Bordeaux to the west, Toulouse to the east, Bergerac to the north and Lourdes to the south, is a delightful, relatively undiscovered area. Off the beaten track the countryside is breathtaking. Steeped in history, ancient hilltop villages look out over beautiful, secret valleys. The area is scattered with farms and orchards, fields of sunflowers in early summer and ancient villages criss-crossed by quiet country lanes.
The vineyards of Duras, Buzet and Bergerac are all within easy reach. Bordeaux with its numerous chateaux and well-known wine producers is only 90 minutes away. You can enjoy fine restaurants with good local and traditional cuisine and the area is well known for producing plums and prunes.
There is golf at Castelnaud, an 18-hole championship course, and at Tombeboeuf there is a 9-hole golf course with practice area and a pro shop. Both golf courses have clubs, trolleys and buggies for hire.
There are various places on the River Lot where you can spend a day fishing, hire canoes or water ski. Locally there are riding stables and two lakes where you can swim, which have water sports facilities - Lac de Peyrat and Lac de Ferie. Villeneuve Tennis Club is open to everyone.
Both the Atlantic coast and the Pyrenees and its many ski resorts are a 2 hour 30 minutes drive away.
Tourist attractions
Near Agen is Parc Walibi, an American Six Flags Amusement/Water Park for the whole family to enjoy.
