Discover Saint-Aubin-De-Lanquais

Saint-Aubin-De-Lanquais can be considered from several perspectives when planning a trip: hiking, architectural history, and markets and wine. Two named hiking trails differ in their landscape and cultural features; the church and château offer insights into architectural history. A market and a winery round out the range of topics. If you are looking for a hotel for a trip to Saint-Aubin-De-Lanquais, these interests can help you decide what to focus on during your stay.

Hiking between farmland and buildings

The Boucle de Cantelouve is an 8 km circular hiking trail. Allow about 2 hours and 40 minutes of walking time; the cumulative elevation gain is 66 m. These details help you plan how long the hike will take and keep its key figures in mind. Check local conditions before setting out. The trail passes through orchards, vineyards and cereal fields, as well as wooded areas with dry-stone walls. The elevation figure complements the distance by indicating the route's elevation profile.

At the beginning of the route, you pass an old tobacco-drying shed, a reminder of the tobacco cultivation that was once widespread in the area. The route thus connects its landscape features with a specific historical memory: the tobacco cultivation once widespread in the area.

The Boucle de Phénix offers a different focus. Along the way, you will see Périgord-style architecture and farmland interspersed with wooded areas. Halfway along the route, it passes the Fontaine-lavoir de Phénix. The two trails differ in their specifically mentioned features: Cantelouve combines trail details with tobacco history, while Périgord architecture, farmland and the Fontaine-lavoir shape the character of Phénix.

The church and château: two architectural histories

The Église de Saint-Aubin-de-Lanquais was originally Romanesque, was destroyed and was rebuilt at the end of the 19th century. By contrast, the architectural history of the Château de Saint-Aubin-de-Lanquais remains a mystery. From a cultural and historical perspective, a sequence of events that can be dated thus stands alongside an open question.

Market and wine offerings

At the Marché gourmand in Saint-Aubin-de-Lanquais, vendors offer prepared food that you can take away or enjoy on site. Tables are available at the market in the shaded municipal park. This lets you plan whether to take your food away or eat it there.

Château Tour de Grangemont offers wine sales and tastings at the winery. It produces AOC Bergerac and Côtes de Bergerac wines in red, white, rosé and sweet varieties. Cellar visits are possible on request; guided tours are by appointment only. Confirm the appointment and visiting conditions in advance. The visiting arrangements differ for planning purposes: market dates and opening should be checked again seasonally, while cellar visits are available on request and guided tours by appointment only.
