Au Pin is a few miles away from the main auto route to Bordeaux and the beaches of Arcachon.
The sleepy Landaise town of Casteljaloux is 15 km: an old fashioned French holiday resort with a sailing, pedalo and swimming lake, golf course, branch course for ages 2-92, cafe overlooking the lake which serves basic but tasty meals .Basque fiestas abound in the months of July and August and the outrageously acrobatic 'Course Landaise' is a must see 'spectacle' for the uninitiated. The local glacier makes it's own delicious ice cream and for the world weary the spa has a range of pools and Turkish Baths.
Marmande is 10kms in the opposite direction. The cathedral is worth a visit and there is a beautiful walk , beach (with cafe and restaurant) and skate park on the banks of the river Garonne. The TGV stops here.
Both are market towns.
There is an excellent equestrian center nearby.
The cycle path along the canal Latteral is 10 minutes by bike.
Bordeaux, Bergerac and St Emilion vineyards are all within an hour.
Other Activities: wine tasting, canal boating and swimming.
Golf: The golf course is ten minutes drive away in Casteljaloux.
