A fantastic organic boulangerie in the nearby village that draws customers from far and wide is the place to go for the daily bread and croissants. St Émilion is 20 minutes away and is always a big draw for locals and visitors alike. There are plenty of fresh-produce markets in the area throughout the week, but if you don't fancy cooking, the riverside restaurant Bistro Rigaud is less than 5 mins away. The chef honed his skills at Bocca Di Lupo and Ottolenghi in London. Other nearby riverside restaurants well worth a visit are Le Pessaquai and Palma Nova, whilst The Glasshouse at Chateau Carbonneau is the place to go for afternoon tea, Sunday brunch and summer concerts.The vineyards surrounding the house are lovely to walk around and Lac de la Cadie is just a 5 minute stroll - in the summer there is a small beach, ideal for children. Of course the Dordogne river itself is well known for kayaking, walking and picnicking.As well as Saint Emilion, there are lots of lovely towns in the area to visit including Duras, Miramont-de-Guyenne, Gensac and Sainte Foy La Grande which is reputed to have the best market in the south-west!The train station at Castillon-la-Bataille is just a 10 minute drive away and from there there is a 40minute direct rail service straight into the centre of Bordeaux.
