The hamlet in which the Mill is located:
is situated around the mill pond. Access is by a small bridge. There are 3 other houses, not too close, around the large area of slow moving fairly shallow water which is renowned for good fishing. It is a very peaceful, tranquil setting with splendid views of the river and of the river Dropt. The boats (and safety jackets) provided by the owner make a superb facility for exploration of the river in either direction. The dipping pool will take 6 people comfortably but if you want to swim you can do so in the publice pool at Monségur about 5 minutes drive away.
There are a number of golf courses within an hours drive.
Monségur and La Réole - market towns:
are nearby. Both are historically important and full of interest. Monségur being a typical bastide town of the 13th Century. The wine areas of St. Emilion and the Sauternes are within 30 minutes drive.
THE JAZZ FESTIVAL OF MONSEGUR is the first week-end of July - not to be missed - the whole town celerbrates JAZZ with concerts, bar groups, street music, stalls etc.
