The best walks and hikes around Pugnac

Former covered outdoor halls, now used for events

This neo-Gothic church was built to replace the dilapidated church of the Recollect Fathers, a men's convent founded in 1627. In the 19th century, the church wanted to encourage a revival of Catholic worship; it encouraged the construction of new religious buildings in Gironde. Thus, in 1856, the Saint-Géronce church was consecrated. Due to lack of space, its apse was oriented towards the south, contrary to what the liturgy provided. The organ, which has its original construction from 1861, is remarkable. Mass is celebrated there every Sunday morning at 10:00 a.m.

The view of the castle from the cypress-lined path and the valley behind it from the path is very beautiful.

Legacy of the priory of Milhegrand, stronghold of the abbey of Lagrasse in the 12th century, the estate then became a smallholding, maintained by a whole line of winegrowers. Josiane and Jean-Pierre OROSQUETTE, themselves from these families dedicated to the vineyard, have in turn perpetuated this long chain. In the 1970s, they decided to leave the cooperative cellar to settle in their own private cellar. They therefore settled on the La Grave estate where the vineyard, due to lack of maintenance, was in poor condition. From the first harvest, they discovered a lot of white grapes. Surprise ! The majority grape variety is Maccabeu, very appreciated for its aromas, it allows La Grave to obtain a great reputation for its white wines! This is the legendary grape variety of La Grave! Today, their son Jean-François has taken over. While continuing to produce excellent white wines, he developed red (and rosé) wines, bringing them elegance and finesse. The next generation arrives with nephew Tristan (vineyard side) and Jean-François' son, Julien... his sister Marie follows closely behind him! Château La Grave produces its wines under 3 appellations (white, rosé and red).

Imposing little fortress in Bourg.

Church in town worth seeing. The market square with the hall is also worth seeing. Only the stupid one-way streets are annoying.
