Bobie is situated just over 1km away from the pretty village of Duras in the Lot et Garonne - the heart of France's wine and gastronomic region. Bobie offers a perfect setting for relaxing, yet has easy access to the weekly market, numerous restaurants, shops and various sporting activities. It is an ideal base for wine tasting in places such as St. Emilion and visiting historic towns such as Eymet, Monsegur, and Bergerac. There are daily markets in this area all year round. Duras has a fascinating chateau and is well worth a visit. The picturesque village comes alive in the summer, with weekly events such as the wine festival, antiques fairs, night markets and open air music. The wine festival is a must, if only to see the Montgolfier balloons which almost touch the rooftops of the village houses!
