Les Vignobles de Marmande

Location:  Lot & Garonne,  on the Bordeaux side of  Marmande, junction of  the D933 with the D813

At the junction of the Mont de Marsan to Périgueux road (the new D933) and the Agen road (the D813) on the edge of Marmande, there is an imposing roundabout suitable for the entrance to a town that is proud of its wines.

In the autumn the leaves on the vines have a golden hue, and the evergreens form an elegant backdrop.

The text announces:  "Vignobles des Côtes du Marmandais" (Vinyards of the Marmandais hillsides)

This is not strictly a roundabout, but a magical traffic island with a dilapidated miniature chateau amid the flower-beds
