The region is full of historical interest and was much fought over during the Hundred Years' War. there are numerous bastide villages to explore, along with colourful markets selling the wonderful local fruit and vegetables. We are close to the wine growing areas of Buzet, Duras and Cahors, and for food lovers this area is a must! Magret and confit of duck, foie gras, melons, plums and soft fruit are all produced locally. Agen is famous for its prunes and if your only memory of prunes is from school dinners, wait until you try prunes in Armagnac. You will never think of them in the same way again! Restaurants vary from basic regional cooking to haute cuisine, and prices from 10 euros for a three course lunch to the somewhat more expensive (!) Michelin 3 star restaurant in nearby Puymirol.
Golf and horse riding are close by and there are several leisure lakes with 'beaches'.
