Old Bergerac: 800 years of history. Worth a visit.

Monbazillac is renowned for its castle and the surrounding vineyards. The region is an AOP (Protected Designation of Origin) for sweet white wines, perfect for desserts and foie gras!

Statue of the famous Cyrano de Bergerac, the reason for which the town is known.

Beautiful view of the vineyards and the Marquay mill.

A literary monument – albeit one that seems rather bizarre in the context of the story – has been erected by the Spanish author Miguel de CERVANTES to the windmills with which our ancestors used the energy of the wind centuries ago to move the large and heavy millstones: In one episode, his tragic novel hero Don Quixote, the "Knight of the Sorrowful Countenance", wants to defeat them in a duel, believing that he is battling against giants with four arms.

It's almost funny, neither born nor died in Bergerac, and certainly not even been there. But everyone knows him.

Beautiful route, definitely worth it!
