Créon, a destination between heritage and nature

Welcome to Créon, an old Gironde bastide, located in the heart of the Entre-Deux-Mers, near Bordeaux. With its medieval heritage, lively markets and surrounding vineyards, Créon appeals to lovers of culture and good wines.

A historic center typical of Gascon fortified towns
Créon has retained its typical 13th-century bastide grid plan, with a large square surrounded by arcades and alleys lined with half-timbered houses. The Notre-Dame church, an imposing Gothic building, is worth a visit for its antique furniture and colorful stained glass windows.

A city focused on wine and nature
Créon is surrounded by vineyards producing Entre-Deux-Mers wines, renowned dry and fruity whites. Several estates open their doors to visitors for tastings. Cycling enthusiasts will appreciate the Roger Lapébie cycle path, a former railway line transformed into a green trail that crosses the hilly landscapes of Entre-Deux-Mers.

A typical Bordeaux gastronomy
In Créon, we feast on cannelés, grilled entrecôtes with vine shoots and lampreys à la bordelaise, a specialty made with fish cooked in red wine.
