Wander through the wine village of Sauternes

Sauternes is world-famous for its sweet white wines, but also for its beautiful walking area. The 8 km long ‘petite boucle’ takes you through rolling vineyards and past traditional wineries. Along the way, you’ll enjoy the scents of ripe grapes, atmospheric country lanes, and maybe even a tasting. This walk is light and easy, perfect for a morning or afternoon trip in the sun-drenched hills.

Discover the medieval charm of Villandraut

Just a few kilometers from the domain lies the village of Villandraut, where you will find a beautiful 6 km hiking trail. The route circles the imposing castle and leads you through the charming center and green surroundings. It is an ideal walk for families with children: not too long, little elevation change, and plenty to see and experience along the way. You literally walk through the history of the region.

Explore Lake La Prade

Combine a visit to the lively Saturday morning market of Bazas with a relaxing walk around Lac de la Prade. This 8-kilometer route is just a 10-minute drive from Domaine EcÔtelia and is perfect for a peaceful afternoon with the whole family. You’ll walk a well-marked loop around the lake in about 2.5 hours, where you can spot plenty of birds along the way and enjoy wide views over the water and surrounding fields. Bring a picnic or rest on one of the benches along the path. This walk is ideal for discovering the local flora and fauna and truly unwinding in a peaceful, natural environment.

Climb, jump and play in the adventure park of Bazas

Just a 15-minute drive from Domaine EcÔtelia, you’ll find Parc de Loisirs à Bazas – a true paradise for families packed with action and fun. This adventure park offers climbing courses among the trees, zip lines, bouncy castles, mini golf, and a play area with water and sand. Children from 3 years old can already join in with age-appropriate activities, while older kids (and parents!) can push their limits on the higher courses. The park is beautifully situated in the forest, so you can find some cool shade even on a warm day. Perfect for an afternoon change of pace after a relaxing morning at the estate. Combine it with an ice cream in the center of Bazas and you’ve got a perfect day for the whole family.

    It’s the perfect place to recharge.
    It’s a very quiet and eco-friendly spot. The cabins are incredibly diverse and very well maintained.
    And what can I say about the pool with its chemical-free natural filtration system?
    It really feels like you’re swimming in a mountain lake.
    And the staff: smiling, kind, attentive, and at the same time very discreet.
    We truly had a wonderful stay.
    Thank you for this wonderful discovery.

    This place is amazing—the setting is gorgeous, and we love it.
    One small downside: in the middle of summer during a heat wave, wow, it’s a bit tough without AC, but then again, they’re wooden cabins, so we understand. But it’s definitely worth a visit.

    Ce lieu est extraordinaire, le cadre est magnifique, on adore.
    Petit bémol, en plein été avec la canicule, waouw c est un peu compliqué sans clim, mais en même temps ceux sont des chalets en bois donc nous comprenons. Mais vraiment à faire.
