The Lot-et-Garonne; an attractive holiday destination. Many people are surprised by the pleasant atmosphere, the friendly people, the hospitality and the character of the region. There is still plenty of space to enjoy your rest, but also offers plenty of opportunities for an unforgettable holiday.
Driving around in the beautiful hilly French country, where the fields of sunflowers alternate with corn, and then again vines ... Versatile, beautiful and quiet. Lot-et-Garonne is also sometimes called the second Tuscany.
Many small interesting towns, Nerac, Vianne, Duras.... Or visit the beautiful famous wine village of Saint Emilion, 70km from us .... www.saint-emilion-tourisme.com
