Local Area

Saint Jean de Duras is a small village in the Aquitaine region on the border of the Lot et Garonne and the Dordogne, also known as the Perigord Purpre or the Purple Perigord, named after the color of its wine, for this area has the largest wine region in the south west of France.

Referred to as "The Tuscany of France" you will be stunned by the beauty of the rolling hills with many castles around (there are about 1000 castles to be discovered in the Dordogne), the bastide towns with its lovely farmers' markets and the Dordogne river floating gently through it all.

In combination with some relaxation at the gite you will find that the area is very much able to fulfil your needs for some culture or a nice stroll on a farmer's market. Taste some wine at one of the many wine chateaux in the neighborhood (there are also a few organic ones).

The picturesque  towns of Eymet and Ste Foy la Grande are only a short drive away.

The lovely town of Bergerac - 20 minutes away - with its beautiful old centre, its cobbled streets and not to forget Cyrano himself.

Bordeaux - one and a half hours away - will ensure a lovely day out with its finest restaurants and art galleries.

In many places you will find access to the Dordogne river or to the Garonne with possibilities for a lovely walk, a picnic on its banks a boat tour or even a whole day of canoeing.

If after all this, there is still space for more, choose an evening out to taste the regional goodies on a night market, play golf on the nearby golf course, visit one of the many brocante markets and find yourself a little something and of course you have to try one of the many "fêtes", that the local villages are famous for and of which there are plenty to choose.
