Accommodation and Facilities for Le Mascaret Farmhouse in Gironde, France

Activities

Fishing, golf, horse riding, tennis, and excellent restaurants are all nearby. There are wonderful weekly markets in the nearby towns.

The best markets are: Libourne (15-20 minutes drive), has a market on Tuesday, Fridays, and Sundays with the Sunday one being the largest and best. Bourg (20 minutes drive) on Sundays. Blaye (45 minutes drive) on Wednesdays (After the market, you can take the ferry across the river to the Medoc region and visit some top wineries).

Things to do

Our location offers holiday activities for everyone. The charming town of St. Emilion and its great wineries are just 25 minutes away. But you must also consider the wines of Fronsac—an up and coming wine appellation and just under 10 minutes away. Visit Bordeaux—just 20-25 minutes away and offers all the amenities of a major city that resembles a smaller version of Paris with many interesting sights, shopping, and some great restaurants. You can visit some of the nearby Chateau. The Chateau de Vayres near Libourne is very nice and so is the Chateau Malrome in Saint Andre du Bois (Entre Deux Mers). The Chateau de La Riviere and its wonderful wine caves is about 10 minutes away. If you are interested in religious history, visit the Abbaye de la Sauve Majeure in Entre Deux Mers. The Pair-non-Pair grotto, a prehistoric cave with some spectacular drawings is about 15 minutes away. For more active vacationing there are plenty of biking and hiking trails in the area.

Day Trips

Some of our previous guest’s favorite trips include visiting the Dune du Pyla in Arcachon—about 45 minutes away—and then visiting the coastal area for a seafood meal. A visit to the Zoo de la Palmyre just north of Royan (about 1:45 hours from Le Mascaret) the best zoo in France, if not Europe, has been a hit with families with children. Blaye and Bourg, both fortified cities, are within 25 minutes and offer a lot of history, wonderful views, and some great wines. A visit to Cognac and its world famous Cognac distilleries is a must and it is less than 70 kilometers away. Les Eyzies (about 2 hours east) with its caves and its prehistoric sites makes for a very interesting day trip.
