“On the left bank of the Garonne, 50 kilometres inland, south east from Bordeaux, Langon is perfectly located for visiting the impressive Château de Roquetaillade and sampling the Sauternes wines to the east and the Entre-Deux-Mers wines to the north.
Langon has an impressive 12th century Gothic church worthy of a visit if you are staying in town. Although there are many areas in and around the town that are also worth visiting or just for a walk around. The neighbourhoods are full of charm and are steeped in history that is synonymous with the Bordeaux and Gironde region.” [www.seebordeaux.com/langon]
