This B&B in Castillon La Bataille (the site of the last battle of the 100 Years' War!) is a little gem. It is a large 200-year-old house that at one time must have belonged to a wealthy grandee of the city. The owner is very friendly, and has a very friendly and large dog. The rooms are quite big. Ours had a bath, I do not know if they all do. Good features, besides the aforementioned include the large pretty garden at the back and especially the large breakfast. The madame serves a wide variety of breads, homemade jams, fresh-squeezed orange juice, home-made yogurt, etc. It is served family style which provides the added attraction of having a nice chat with the other guests. Parking is quite limited, so reserve it ahead of time.
Aux Raisons Verts only accepts payment in cash. If you are booking through Booking.com you may not see this. It is in the fine print at the bottom of the four-page reservation. Also, do not be deceived by the fact that you have to give Booking.com your credit card #. It is only to guarantee the reservation, and should not be confused as evidence that the B&B accepts credit card payments.
The town is small and evidentially not as well-off as some other locations in Bordeaux. But it is nnot without its charms. castillon-la-Bataille is on the Dordogne River and has a beautiful old bridge crossing it. There are a few restaurants but not all are open during the off season. There is a nice bar downtown near the river where friendly locals gather to enjoy more than 100 varieties of Belgian beer read more
