Latest Libourne hotel reviews
Roadquill Says: By the main bridge into town is a small park featuring a monument to Captain Oscar de Gereaux. The monument honors his sacrifice in 1845 in the battle of Sidi Brahim.
Roadquill Says: The town of Libourne hosted its first local wine festival on the second weekend in July. The Des Vines, Des Rive en Libournais combines the two important aspects of the town, the local wine industry and the confluence of the l'Ilse and Dordogne rivers. In addition to several...
Roadquill Says: Just a few streets from the l"isle River, and just off the main street is the imposing Church of Saint-Jean, complete with towering bell tower.
Roadquill Says: As with many towns in Europe, Libourne has an attractive and active town square. A number of cafe's, pattiseries, shops line the square. The large pergola in the middle serves as a focal point.
Roadquill Says: More than just a farmers market, the Sunday market in the Lebourne city square is a packed assemblage of fresh fruits and vegetables, but cheese, meats, seafood and great deals on clothing.
Roadquill Says: Located on the banks of the river, the Tower is one of the few remaining vestiges of the medieval fortifications that once surrounded the city. Unfortunately, the access to the interior was locked.

Lawrence et William: Boulangerie / Patisserie
Roadquill Says: On the corner of the town square is one of those boulangerie / patisserie that gets your taste buds going simply by glancing at the delicious morsels, and if you are not looking, the aroma will get you.
Restaurant la Tour a Vieux Port: La Tour a Vieux Port
Roadquill Says: Left with few choices of a decent restaurant on a Sunday evening in Libourne, I followed the hotel's recommendation and dined on the terrace by the river at the La Tour de Vieux Port. Fortunately they had some reasonably priced, quality Medoc Bordeaux's in a half bottle. The...
Roadquill Says: The town of Libourne is very easy to explore on bicycle. The town is flat, at the confluence of two nice size rivers. The weather varied, on one day it was slightly cool and a tiny bit of rain, and the other it was warm and sunny. One point of caution, there are several...
Wine tasting - not quite there yet
Roadquill Says: For being in the middle of the finest wine area in the world, there is not the wine tasting industry as we have come to expect such as in the Napa and Sonoma Valleys in California or the Douro Valley in Portugal. However, some wineries are realizing that this can be...
Few restaurants are open Sunday evening
Roadquill Says: It one thing for a town to roll up on Sunday evening, but tourists wanting a qualify meal have to look hard on Sunday evenings as most restaurants are closed. I noted only two, one on each side of the Isle River near the watchtower.
Roadquill Says: While I can't imagine these old birds are efficient at catching fish alongside the river, this crane with a large dip net is indicative the the history of the river to the local population.
Roadquill Says: Within a kilometer of the town of Libourne are numerous vineyards. Many of these are in some of the finest wine growing appellations in the world, including Fronsac, Pomeral and St. Emilion.
Roadquill Says: The Libourne Tourism office is located in the main square in the old town at: 40 place Abel Surchamp - 33500 LibourneTél. 05 57 51 15 14 - Fax. 05 57 25 00 58http://www.libourne-tourisme.com/en.html
