Location and Heritage
Just 35 minutes south of Bordeaux by train (with it’s own train station) or by car, the village is renowned for its remarkably well-preserved medieval architecture. Once a significant commercial hub in the Middle Ages, particularly for the wine trade, it is located in the heart of the Entre-Deux-Mers area, celebrated for its exceptional white wines. Perched on a cliff overlooking the Garonne River, the property offers stunning, elevated views of the surrounding vineyards and river valley.  
The Village: A genuinely lived-in, vibrant village that is alive with local festivals, live music events, and traditional markets, giving residents an authentic rhythm of French village life rarely found this close to a major city.
Daily life here is refreshingly self-sufficient, with everything residents need right in the village centre: A bakery, butcher, tabac, grocery store, and several restaurants and bars, many with terraces on the historic square. Residents can walk to cover daily needs, while still enjoying easy access to Bordeaux’s wine country, the Sauternes vineyards, and the banks of the Garonne just steps away.
