Town Centre Apartment in Southwest France
- Cycling
- Walking
This two bedroom flat in the beautiful town of Libourne in south west France is the perfect base for exploring the local area - vineyards, chateaux and beautiful beaches. It’s easy to get around on foot - enjoying exploring the local market, trying out some superb restaurants, and walking along the riverside. A fantastic and authentic holiday rental in France.
Libourne is an ideal base for exploring this beautiful part of southwest France with its prestigious vineyards and marvellous beaches. St Emilion (10 min.), Bordeaux (40 min.) and the glorious Atlantic coast (Cap Ferret, Arcachon) are all within easy reach. This recently renovated apartment enjoys a central location, close to the quays, restaurants and town square with weekly markets.
Libourne is a beautiful slice of south west France which is far less known to tourists than Bordeaux or Saint-Emilion, but just as charming! In Libourne you can escape the hoards of tourists who descend on Bordeaux and enjoy a stay in this riverside town situated at the meeting point of the Dordogne and the Isle rivers. The Libourne farmer’s market is one of the best and oldest in the Gironde. Head to the quayside for a riverside cruise down the Dordogne River, taking you to Chateau de Vayres, one of the most prestigious castles in the region. No holiday to Libourne is complete without a visit to one of the nearby ‘appellations’ - Fronsac is the nearest with its wine producing chateau - even without a car you can hire a bike to cycle the 3.5km from town. Libourne is oozing character, and is a wonderful place to discover Aquitaine culture and gastronomy.
