L’Indigo Magazine Discovers the Hidden Gems of Entre-deux-Mers – and Refuge Luxe Is Proud to Be Featured
Some regions don’t seek the spotlight – and that is exactly what makes them so special. Entre-deux-Mers, nestled between the Garonne and Dordogne rivers, is one of those hidden treasures. In a recent feature for the French travel magazine L’Indigomag, travel journalist Catherine Gary describes the area as one of the most delightful surprises in the Bordeaux countryside.
Her article invites readers to discover rolling vineyards, medieval bastide towns, magnificent abbeys and charming villages that have preserved their authentic character. Instead of crowded tourist attractions, visitors find peace, authenticity and the true French art de vivre.
Among the highlights she recommends are:
- the UNESCO-listed Abbey of La Sauve-Majeure,
- the historic bastide towns of Monségur, Sauveterre-de-Guyenne and Créon,
- the renowned vineyards of Entre-deux-Mers, famous for their elegant white wines and increasingly excellent reds,
- the scenic Roger Lapébie cycling route,
- and the beautiful medieval town of La Réole, which she describes as her personal favourite.
A Special Honour for Refuge Luxe
What makes us especially happy is that Catherine Gary stayed at Refuge Luxe while researching her article and kindly recommends our chambre d’hôtes to her readers.
She describes Refuge Luxe as a place of “comfort and refinement”, set in a beautifully restored former winegrower’s house surrounded by vineyards. She also highlights the relaxing atmosphere by the pool and our homemade dinners featuring fresh regional produce.
