MORE GREAT ATTRACTIONS TO DISCOVER SOUTH OF BORDEAUX

Our travels in this region revealed far more than we had expected. There is such a wealth of great places to visit just south of Bordeaux, ranging from world famous vineyards such as Château d’Yquem, while others are much less well-known, and a few hardly known at all outside the region. There are a great number of fortified châteaux, many of them impressive ruins, while some are still lived in today. There are pretty bastide villages, imposing cathedrals, and the most surprising discovery of all, a small, Gothic-style chapel with an exquisite Italianate Baroque interior, located in a tranquil rural setting in the deep heart of the Tarn et Garonne countryside.
