Duras and the surrounding area is bursting with sightseeing opportunities. The historic Chateau de Duras is a 'must- see' as is the bustling Duras Monday morning market. Sport and leisure activities include walking and hiking, cycling, swimming and tennis, canoeing, horse riding and even hot air ballooning !
There are many thriving local vineyards where you can enjoy wine tasting and tours of the premises. You can buy your wine and put it in the back of the car,or have it shipped to anywhere you wish . The local food is bountiful and delicious with many local cheeses to try - not to mention the fois gras, pates, and wonderful seasonal fruit and vegetables !
The area is very peaceful and rural and there is a lot to be said for having a lazy lunch in the garden, with a good book to read in the afternoon while you contemplate which bottle of wine to open next, and what to have for supper!
