Location

Set in the heart of south-west France, Maison Leybornia enjoys a privileged position in a residential neighbourhood of Libourne, a charming riverside town known for its relaxed pace and elegant surroundings. The nearby Dordogne riverbank creates a glorious backdrop to the town, where waterside strolls and boat trips offer a gentle introduction to the region’s natural beauty.

The heart of Libourne is around 2km away - it’s a delight to explore with its famous lively market, inviting restaurants and picturesque squares. Whether browsing local produce or dining al fresco, the town offers an authentic taste of French life.

Just a short drive away, the UNESCO-listed village of Saint-Émilion (8km) enchants with its honey-coloured stone buildings and vineyard-clad hills. Bordeaux (36km), with its grand architecture and vibrant cultural scene, provides a striking contrast, perfect for a day of museums, shopping, and fine dining.

The surrounding region is synonymous with exceptional wine, and guests are perfectly placed to enjoy tastings at nearby châteaux. For other outdoor pursuits, Lac des Dagueys (5km) offers summer watersports, while the Isle River is ideal for canoeing and kayaking through tranquil landscapes.

For a change of scenery, the Atlantic coast beckons. Lacanau, Arcachon and the majestic Dune du Pilat can all be reached within a 90-minute to 2-hour drive, rewarding visitors with sweeping beaches, fresh sea air and unforgettable coastal views.

Getting to and around

One of France’s most iconic hilltop towns, Saint-Émilion is waiting to enchant wine enthusiasts, gastronomes, keen historians and Francophiles in so many different ways. With its UNESCO World Heritage vineyards, visitors will have the opportunity to sample AOC wines from one of the most famous and historic wine-growing regions in the world.

Start off by exploring the cobbled lanes of Saint-Émilion as you admire its beautiful architecture and churches – its origins date back to the 8th century. One of the most impressive sites is the 12th century stone-carved Monolithic church, the largest of its kind in Europe, a truly astonishing masterpiece – a guided tour of the church and catacombs is a must.

As well as the town’s famous Merlot, try Crémant de Bordeaux at Les Cordeliers, once a monastery that was brought by a winemaker in the 19th century – enjoy a glass of sparkling wine overlooking the cloister garden. Food lovers note there are several excellent restaurants including Michelin star establishments (Logis de la Cadène and La Table de Pavie are two famous names). Look out for French macarons as well - Saint-Émilion claims to be the birthplace of this delicious sweet treat.

Of course, wine tours and tastings can be arranged across the Saint-Émilion wine-growing region. There are so many to choose from, from small family-run vineyards to prestigious wine châteaux, and it’s fantastic to be able to buy such excellent wines directly from local producers. Wine connoisseurs note that the neighbouring Pomerol wine appellation should also be included on your itinerary for longer stays.

Meanwhile, explore the idyllic landscapes by bike, a wonderful way to appreciate the beauty of Saint-Émilion’s vineyards, or enjoy a hot-air balloon ride to capture the scenery below. A little further afield, canoe or kayak along the Dordogne near Castillon-la-Bataille, experience the vibrant markets of Libourne and travel to the great wine city of Bordeaux for another amazing day out in this captivating part of southwestern France.
