About the location
Lot et Garonne is a department of gently rolling countryside and pretty bastide villages such as Castillonnés, Villereal and Monflanquin, where weekly markets are held in the cobbled squares. There are many good restaurants within easy reach where you can try the local gastronomic delights such as foie gras and confit de canard. This is also the area for walnuts and prunes and on a warm summer evening you can smell the wonderful aroma from the prune ovens in the village.
25 minutes drive south of Bergerac and the famous Château of Monbazillac, St. Colomb de Lauzun is also ideal for touring the Dordogne valley and the vineyards of St. Emilion and Bordeaux which are only just over 1 hour's drive away.
3 kms from St. Colomb de Lauzun is the village of Lauzun which has all your basic shopping requirements such as a small supermarket, butcher, baker, pharmacy, newsagents, post-office and bank plus a good restaurant and a café. Also worth a visit is the 14th-17th Century Château. For more extensive shopping try Bergerac, Marmande, Villeneuve-sur-Lot and Bordeaux.
