TOWN PRESENTATION

At the heart of the Entre-Deux-Mers, Les Esseintes is a pretty traditional village surrounded by vineyards and has a Romanesque church, St. Eutropius, dating from the 12th century. Several elements of the church have been discovered in the 20th century. Indeed, in 1959, the altar collapsed, revealing a Romanesque apse. At a Sunday mass in 1961, the mass of masonry which covered the sanctuary collapsed in turn, undermined by a rainy season. The original wall in small device is then revealed. Now in its lines restored Romanesque church and its beautiful bell tower are the pride of the villagers.

You can enjoy strolling through the region canelés, of pigeons, lamprey, duck of all kinds, sweet wines, or subtle character and many other delights.
