Frequently Asked Questions
A few hundred metres from the ramparts, on the right bank of the Garonne. Palace, walls and main square all sit within 500 metres of the quay: the whole call is done on foot.
A medieval new town laid out on a strict grid by the lords of Aquitaine. Cadillac was drawn in 1280 as an almost perfect chequerboard, and seven centuries later the plan has not shifted.
Through the Porte de la Mer, a fourteenth-century square tower that once opened onto river traffic. At the far end, the Porte de l'Horloge and its bell tower mark the northern edge of the bastide. Walking the full circuit of the walls takes barely half an hour.
A palace nothing prepares you to find in a town of 2,500 people. Jean-Louis de Nogaret de La Valette, a favourite of Henry III who became Duke of Épernon, began building it in 1598: classical facades, state apartments and above all eight monumental fireplaces carved in polychrome marble, among the finest in France.
About an hour and a half for the ducal apartments, with audioguides in French. Tapestries woven for the duke still hang in several rooms.
Yes. It became a women's prison in the nineteenth century and the top floor still holds the cells and the inmates' graffiti. The tour does not try to hide it: it is a striking counterpoint to the state rooms below.
Sweet white wines made on the slopes above the town. Opposite, across the river, ripen the crus of Loupiac and Sainte-Croix-du-Mont, cousins of Sauternes. The classic match pairs these golden wines with foie gras or a piece of Roquefort.
Saturday morning on Place de la République. It is one of the oldest markets in the Gironde, held in the same place for nearly eight centuries: asparagus, strawberries and cheeses from nearby farms.
The honey-coloured river, the stilt fishing huts and rows of vines running to the horizon. You climb up by the Rue du Château. The church of Saint-Blaise and Saint-Martin, next to the ducal palace, is worth a stop for its Flamboyant Gothic front.
Yes, Bordeaux lies about thirty kilometres downstream and some cruises pair the two calls. Excursions also head to the wine châteaux of the Entre-deux-Mers, a few kilometres away by the ridge roads.
