Beyond the famous wine Chateaux, experience a part of south west France between Perigord and Gascony: welcome to the Lot & Garonne on a 4-day press trip
21 – 24 June 2013
LOT-et-Garonne is a land full of contrasts: realistic yet imaginative, affluent yet friendly, cultured yet forward-thinking. The best of the south-west in just one region!
Boasting rolling green countryside, numerous types of crops, friendly locals and a wealth of activities and festivals to savour, this thriving region stands out due to its diversity, and its insistence on quality.
A large part of France’s organic produce is grown in the region, and Lot-et-Garonne cultivates the nation’s widest variety of fruit and vegetables. Its farms are a veritable playground for young and old alike.
Lot-et-Garonne has five AOC labelled wines. Winegrowers have opened their doors to tourists for many years, with the aim of giving visitors a lasting souvenir of their holiday, and an insight into their age-old winemaking skills.
On this trip, you’ll fly to Bergerac on Friday 21 June in the afternoon and then head to Villeneuve sur Lot, a medieval village.
Then, you’ll:
- tour some of the ‘France’s Most beautiful Villages’ (an official label) such as Pujols, Penne d’Agenais, Monflanquin
- enjoy local markets, personalized cooking classes,
- stay in a charming 18th century former mansion
- taste the local produce in bistrots de pays as well as in a chateau
- not forget to stop at the famous Latour –Marliac water lily gardens
