Casteljaloux, a destination in its own right
The spa resort calls either for lazing about and action with its thermal baths, its outdoor swimming pool, the lake of Clarens and its nautical activities and treetop adventure park, its casino, or else its golf course, considered one of the most beautiful of the region, at the edge of the Landes forest with a stunning view on the lake of Clarens.
The Canal, the Garonne river, and the Lot river
Sail along the Garonne, this wild river on the edge of the towns Marmande and Tonneins. Onboard an electric boat or a canoe, the Val de Garonne is an experience to live on its river, its canal, and the tributary Lot… The canal offers a wonderful sight, bordered by majestic plane trees bringing some fresh air for walks with family or friends.
Vineyards, where the savoir-faire meets your taste buds
Refined palates aren’t forgotten here… Follow the Bergerac and Duras Wine Routes, towards “Vignobles et Découvertes” to meet the Winegrowers Côtes de Duras, who represent their production: generous and warm. On the green slopes overlooking the two banks of the Garonne, the vineyard of the Côtes du Marmandais provides wines classified as AOP (Protected Designation of Origin PDO). The Castle Moncassin, next to Casteljaloux, will reveal to you for its part the range of the AOP (PDO) Buzet wines.
An amazing heritage to discover and savour
Don’t miss the Castle of Lauzun, a perfect example of Renaissance art, the frescoes of Allemans-du-Dropt, within the Romanesque church Saint-Eutrope. The Castle of Duras, an uncommon monument, overhangs the Valley of the Dropt in Guyenne.
From Spring, discover the Castle’s Escape Game, and this Summer, be amazed by the Castle’s shows: night-time audiovisual show, musketeers’ show, knights’ and falconry show.
The South-West, it’s the country of well-being and good food because we like good local products that are seasonal. The ones you find at the farm next door or on the tables of restaurants in little villages, on the markets. Here, the plate is convivial and festive!
