Réans: Heritage and Armagnac

Réans offers several distinct points of interest when planning a stay: historic buildings, Armagnac production, and a guided visit to a farm. There is also a cycling and road circuit associated with the town. When choosing a hotel, it may help to first decide what you are most interested in: architectural history, regional production, farming, or cycling? There is also a difference in planning between historic buildings and visits whose arrangements you should check in advance.

Historic buildings in Réans

The Église Saint-Martin in Réans was rebuilt between 1820 and 1900 and has a three-sided apse. The period of reconstruction and the apse are defining historical and architectural features of the church. The baptismal font from the former church in Réans is located outdoors.

Château Saint Aubin is an 18th-century château set among vineyards in Réans. Château Espujos dates from between 1850 and 1860 and is also set among vineyards. Château de Haillon is a fine bourgeois house in Réans. This makes it possible to focus your trip on church architecture or on the different types of château and house.

Armagnac and tastings

The Saint-Martin family distils Armagnac at Domaine Saint-Martin in Réans. There, you can discover and taste the products they make in a traditional chai. Château Saint-Aubin is also an Armagnac producer and offers tours and tastings by prior reservation. When choosing between the two, you can consider whether discovering the products in the chai or a reserved tour with tasting better suits your itinerary. Check the current arrangements before your visit.

Guided visit to Ferme du Péré

On a guided visit to Ferme du Péré, you can discover the 49-hectare farm and its facilities. These include seeing Bazadaise cattle and the facilities for raising Duroc pigs. The visit therefore offers a practical insight into the farm through its land, livestock, and associated facilities. Visit arrangements may change, so check the current booking schedule in advance.

Cycling route as part of your trip

The cycling and road circuit “Circuit a Bascous (n°5)” is associated with Réans and is 21.0 kilometres long. Its length gives travellers a useful reference point when considering cycling as part of their stay. The route complements the town’s buildings, tastings, and guided farm visit with another travel option: a named route with a stated distance. Check the current route before setting off, as details may change.
