Lot et Garonne Holiday Gite with Pool near Eymet and Duras - Le Pot de Miel Reviews

We had a week here in Sept in the smaller gite. Well, it’s pretty big! The lounge/kitchen is cavernous. Bruce and Steph had thoughtfully provided a welcome pack, so we could take a much needed drink on arrival as it was extremely hot. In fact it was in the mid 30’s all week. Bruce & Steph are a friendly couple with all those local knowledge tips to share with you.

The gite is very well equipped and the pool is a delight. Nearest supermarket is only 5 mins away yet you are seemingly well out in the countryside. There are many bastide towns to visit and the Dordogne area is on your doorstep. Market day at Issigeac is a delight. Bergerac is lovely to roam around. Further afield you can easily get to St.Emilion and Pomerol and those inviting vineyards. Don’t forget the wines of Duras, Pecharmant and Monbazillac. Bordeaux is reachable in just over the hour. Leave your car in Lormont at one of the park and ride facilities (we used Les Lauriers). Then take the tram (very cheap & includes your all day parking!) and explore Bordeaux. The new Cite du Vin is worth a tour if you like your wines. Set in a quite spectacular building with 15,000 wines from all around the world, you get an audio guide, multi- sensory displays and a very good panoramic restaurant on floor 7. Book a table when you arrive as it gets pretty busy, and the view is amazing. Don’t forget your complimentary glass of wine on floor 8!

Many thanks for a lovely week, just what we needed.
