Bergerac is most commonly known for its wine and tobacco production, but there's so much more. The area is steeped in rich history, and the town and surrounding areas are very family-friendly, with plenty of activities for children.
September temperatures in Bergerac are particularly pleasant; cooler than the mid-summer months but still very enjoyable. Highs of 24 degrees celsius can be expected, with lows of around 12 degrees.
Moderate rainfall can be expected, as throughout the rest of the year. Around 77mm is normal for September, falling over 11 days of the month.
St Jacques' Church is a popular attraction among both religious and non-religious travellers for a number of reasons. Firstly, the Romanesque architecture appeals to many and is the pinnacle of Bergerac's old town. Secondly, the church organ is not only listed, it's also one of the most impressive in all of France. Look carefully at both the interior and exterior at the church, as many different architects have added their own touches over the years.
Spend an evening at LaGrapped'Or, a restaurant located in the Monbazillac vineyard. In the summer months, take a seat on the outdoor terrace, or by the fireplace during the cooler times of the year. The menu is traditionally French and the local wine flows during dinner.
Make a booking at the Bergerac branch of the Kyriad chain hotel. Known for their luxurious yet budget accommodations, this property is no different, offering air conditioned rooms with private facilities for as little as £43 per night. There's an onsite restaurant and a pool and terrace.
