A bicycle ride is the ideal way to discover the charms of the area, as you pedal your way along the sinuous road that leads to the vineyard of Cos d\u2019Estournel only minutes away or visit the shimmering Gironde Estuary, a fascinating contrast against the perfectly aligned vines of Cos that it borders.<\/p>\n

It is a place where nature is constantly metamorphosing: gray cloud cover is quickly chased away by blue skies, and morning mists evaporate as swiftly as they appear. The influence of ocean breezes, the rise and fall of the tides and the changes between forest and marshland create a feeling of constant movement.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_video link=”https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=kan5YvjzFG4″ el_class=”video-article”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”4539″ img_size=”810×540″][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_separator color=”custom” el_width=”30″ accent_color=”#a30b34″][vc_column_text]For a weekend or a short break, La Maison d\u2019Estournel welcomes city dwellers looking to unplug \u2013 whether as a couple, with family or friends.

A precious part of local heritage, more than five hundred of these fishing huts dot the banks of the estuary.<\/p>\n

The next stop along your journey is Saint-Est\u00e8phe and its twenty-six villages and hamlets. Beyond a rich legacy of growing and producing wines, Saint-Est\u00e8phe also has a fascinating history. Rebuilt in the eighteenth century, its baroque church is one of its most outstanding features. Light floods the church through its stained-glass windows, reflecting off sparkling crystal chandeliers, making it a lovely place to visit before heading to the village cemetery. Here lies Louis-Gaspard d\u2019Estournel under a tombstone engraved with the eternal tribute \u201cCos, reconnaissant\u201d<\/em>, or \u201cCos, grateful.\u201d[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”12125″ img_size=”810×540″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”12069″ img_size=”810×540″][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]Culinary delights await at the end of the day, when the Chef at La Maison d\u2019Estournel brings the spirit of Saint-Est\u00e8phe alive. Products are locally sourced, and your taste buds will delight in vegetables grown in our on-site garden, bread baked by a local baker and choice meat from the village\u2019s exceptional butcher.
\nLast but definitely not least, you wouldn\u2019t dream of denying yourself the pleasures of a glass of Pagodes de Cos while savoring your meal on the terrace.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/section>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
