This is an amazing historical outdoor live show held every summer in the evening and re-enacting the 100 year Franco-english war with 400 actors. It is musical and visual and can be understood even though the story telling is in French. There is food on the premises and is definitely worth doing. Only 15 minutes from us- Only downside for young children, it is long and finishes late.

Essentials

Si vous êtes a Sainte Foy La Grande, il serait dommage de ne pas s’arrêter chez Sucrée Salée, une épicerie de luxe et tea room délicieux. Le jardin a l’arrière de la boutique est un vrai havre de paix! (en particulier les jours de marché, le samedi matin...) This can't be the only reason to go to Ste Foy La Grande but if you are there, it would be a shame not to stop at Sucrée salée as it is an exquisite little shop and tea room. Back garden is a haven! (especially on market day on a Saturday morning...)

Food Scene

Tres bon endroit pour manger (cuisine locale avec une touche de modernite), excellent rapport qualite prix. Reservez car l'adresse est tres prisee. C'est aussi un magasin de vins locaux et une epicerie tres pratique. Facile a trouver sur la route de St Emilion. It's a really good place to eat (local cuisine with a modern twist) good value for money.Make sure you book as it is popular. It is also a wine shop that sells local wines and a convenience store. Easy to find, on the way to St Emilion.

C'est le restaurant le plus proche de la maison, vous pouvez même y aller a pied. Pour des specialites espagnoles et du Sud-Ouest, simple mais bon. Mieux vaut réserver pour ne pas être déçu. This is the closest restaurant from the House, you can even walk to it. For Spanish cuisine and local food, simple but good. Better to book to avoid disappointment.

Really beautiful setting (5km outside St Emilion, overlooking the vineyards) and superb cuisine. There is a gastronomic restaurant and a bistrot with a very good set menu at reasonnable price. Try it!

To be perfectly fair we haven't been there ourselves but the reviews are very good and it looks nice and friendly for a family lunch or dinner. And Gensac is a lovely village anyway- small but picturesque. It is recommended to book as for all good places.

This is a winery (they produce some of the wines distributed by Laithwaite in the UK) and wine shop. The staff is really nice and will help you find the wine you want even for a moderate price. I hear they also do tours of the chai and tastings that are very informative but I have never done it myself.

Lovely little restaurant in Villefranche on the main square with one daily menu - all home-cooked by the chef-proprietor of the place. Check the opening time as it was only open for lunch when we went except Friday evening for Pizza and possibly Saturdays as well during the summer. They also do coffee in the morning. But it is small so book ahead if you don't want to be disappointed! +33 6 63 88 17 11

La base de loisirs du Lac de Gurson a ete re-amenagee recemment et dispose d'une plage de sable, snack-bar et jardin avec balancoires tres prise des petitts. Avec des tables pour le puque-nique sous les arbres. ou juste pour une promenade autour du lac. The lake has a sandy beach, it is also equipped with a bar and playground for the children, nice picnic area with tables in the shade. Also lovely just for a walk around the lake.

Drinks & Nightlife

C'est une cave de producteur de Cremant de Bordeaux dans un cadre magnifique, il est possible de prendre un verre au milieu des ruines d'un ancien cloître. Tres relaxant quand le reste de St Emilion est un peu trop agite... GPS : 44°53'35"N / 00°09'18"O This a Cloister, a wine cellar where they produce sparkling wine under Cremant de Bordeaux appellation and a smallish tasting venue. The venue is gorgeous !
