BETWEEN RIVER, BIODIVERSITY AND CULINARY TRADITIONS: A NATURAL IMMERSION IN THE GREATER SAINT-ÉMILIONNAIS AREA
Have you heard of lamprey, the prehistoric-looking fish that is cooked here ‘à la bordelaise’? This emblematic dish of the South-West is an integral part of the local culture. And it's not the only unusual inhabitant of our rivers.
In the calm waters of the Dordogne, catfish, which can grow to over two metres in length, bear witness to an astonishing biodiversity. The Grand Saint-Émilionnais region abounds in these little secrets of nature, with its wildlife, flora, gastronomic traditions and gentle way of life.
Here, people take their time. You can explore the region by bike, cycling along the rolling countryside, stopping off at the water's edge and taking a breather. It's an invitation to slow down, to explore differently, to reconnect with what's essential.
