Duras Castle, located in Lot-et-Garonne, is a restored medieval fortress boasting remarkable architecture and magnificent views. It is a major historical monument in the region.

very beautiful village to see

Nice climb up to Duras, best enjoyed at a comfortable pace being sure to keep something in reserve to blast out over the top!

Built on the banks of the Garonne, as its name suggests, the small village lives to the rhythm of the numerous floods and the vagaries of the river. Every year, an international journalism festival takes place there, in a festive and family atmosphere. A good opportunity to discover the city, its beautiful church, to take a stroll on the water or to move your hips during the many concerts!

Almost every year, Couthures-sur-Garonne transforms into "Couthures sous Garonne", because of floods. With these floods, Couthures is fertile. This is even where the village takes its name: Culturis, cultures in Latin, became Couthures over time.

Since 1970 the Château de Duras has been classified as a historic monument. It is an imposing castle, which can be seen from afar.

I hope a bit of advertising is allowed. There is a marvellous B&B / gîte - Haras de la Tour - just 2.5 km off all of these routes at Lamothe-Landerron. Many cyclists have stayed here. Have a look at http://www.harastour.com/ It is 5 km from the start point at Sainte-Bazeille. If you get lost I can come and cycle back with you.

Beautiful canal, beautiful landscape, a few locks, a few places to stop for refreshments. Not always the best interface.
