Knowing how to spend time is crucial for anyone heading to property in France, according to the French Government Tourist Office.

The organisation explains that there are a variety of different ways to while away the hours in the Bergerac region – many of which relate in some way to wine.

For example, visitors and residents alike can spend some time wandering through the vineyards.

A visit to the grape-growing region is also an opportunity to meet the wine producers in person and learn more about how the beverage is made.

The tourism body adds that a visit to the Pays des Bastides can answer a rich variety of questions, ranging from how long stalactites take to form to how rag paper is produced in the local mills.

As well as having examples of how property in France is still constructed in a mediaeval style in some places, Bergerac also has statues devoted to its world-famous duellist, Cyrano de Bergerac.
