Approximately I hour. Restored gabares – used to float barrels of wine downriver to Bordeaux, now restored for leisurely trips down the river, with wonderful views of the quays and old town. Flower lined avenues. The old quarter stretching out from above the quays through quaint alleys and old squares with many fine stone and half-timbered buildings is a painter’s delight. On market days don’t miss the sumptuous fish stalls. Extensive vineyards and opportunities for wine tasting.
