Entre-deux-Mers Tourism - Monségur TIO Monségur Tourist Information Office

At the gates of Bordeaux, between Dordogne and Garonne, Entre-deux-Mers seduces you from the start with the serene beauty of its landscapes. The relief envelops you in its folds. It carries a small galaxy of small towns, with its myriad of wine-growing areas, castles, rural buildings, belvederes, and those jewels of medieval town planning that are the bastides, those checkerboard towns and arcades.

In season, the roads are brightened up with tasting cellars, open-air markets, village events and festivals.
It is an ocean of vines where the whole range of Bordeaux wines is represented. Here, the wines are simple and generous, the winegrowers welcome you in all modesty and share with you the pleasure of the products resulting from the work of their vines.
The Bordeaux hinterland conceals many treasures to be unearthed. Nestled in their green setting, a host of small Romanesque churches and illustrious abbeys await you. In the cities or in the middle of the vineyard, randomly on the small roads you will discover the fortified water or wind mills , the medieval, Renaissance or classical castles...
Entre-deux-Mers has managed to preserve the memory of stones. Its monuments tell a story embellished by the centuries.

Away from the main traffic arteries, the Bordeaux hinterland makes you feel wanderlust. Country roads, cycle paths, botanical paths or bushy paths invite you to linger.

Both unique in its appearance and so diverse in its features, the face of Entre-deux-Mers takes shape over its territories: The Portes de Bordeaux, the countries of Créon, Cadillac, Sauveterre-de-Guyenne and Targon, La Reole, Monsegur. Each of these municipalities and their surrounding countries has its own tone and contributes to the harmony of the whole.

Around Monségur... Bastides to live in

Summer under the arcades

Farm products, happy tables and musicians: every Wednesday evening in the summer, a night market is held under the market hall of the bastide town of Monségur. Oysters, grilled meats and duck breasts from producers overflow from the trestles. We take out the tables and the barge feasts. As before, we feast.

For morning getaways, head out into the light filtering through the foliage, along the banks of the Dropt, follow the towpath and explore the countryside dotted with dovecotes, covered wells, mills and washhouses. And why not visit the beautiful abbey of Saint-Ferme posted on the way to Compostela.
