Reviews
Les Deux Cèdres has received 1 reviews in the last 4 years with a:
Jos Hemme from Vlaardingen,
Heerlijk vakantiehuis! Supermooie omgeving en ontzettend gaaf uitzicht vanaf het tweede terras. Daar heerlijk ontbijten. Heerlijk bed, keuken met alles erop en eraan en vooral ook hele warme ontvangst. Echt een aanrader voor een relax vakantie. In omgeving waar veel te zien en te doen is, maar nog niet heel toeristisch.
Een uitje met de trein naar Agen is een aanrader. En een heerlijke plek om te relaxen is bij het zwembad.
Restaurants, food & wine
On request, we are happy to prepare a 3-course dinner for our guests. We serve French dishes as much as possible and use local products. Vegetarian is of course also possible.
If you want to enjoy culinary pleasures in a restaurant, then you are in the right place in Lot-et-Garonne. Here, they understand the art of good food. There is an extensive wine production (Buzet, Côtes-de-Duras, Côtes-du-Marmandais, Brulhois). Moreover, the delicious Cahors, Bordeaux and Saint Emilion wines are close by. Something for everyone!
The locals are justifiably proud of their culinary products. Foie gras, confit de canard, asparagus, strawberries, plums from Agen, tomatoes from Marmande or, more recently, hazelnuts and kiwis. These products are sold at the attractive markets in the surrounding villages. In July and August, there are often evening markets where you can enjoy the local food and wine, sitting at long tables on the village square, with music and entertainment. A very nice way to experience the atmosphere of village life and the French people.
