Between La Maison de Canard and Begerac to the north is a major wine production area. and a visit to the Chateau and wine museum / tasting centre at Monbazillac, about 5km from Bergerac airport is recommended.  Also recommended is the nearby Chateau Bridoire - the 'Castle of Games 'with a maze and lots of family orientated games and activities 

The area is gently rolling and criss crossed with quiet country roads. ideal for exploring by foot or by bicycle and bicycle and e-bike hire is available locally. 

Language is not a problem, with a strong expat population locally meaning you will hear English spoken fairly widely - although the French do appreciate it if you at least try to speak in their language. 

Markets are a popular attraction, and you will find markets locally on every day of the week - even Sundays. A very large Saturday market is held in the centre of Bergerac.  In summer evening markets are also held: Please see local tourist information for details. 

  

A few miles to the east there is a remarkable number of castles to visit: Pictured above are Biron and Bonaguil, and there are also the spectacular ruins of Gauvadun and also Fumel castle to visit.
