Arveyres

Tourism, holidays & weekends guide in the Gironde

Municipality of Gironde located in Entre-deux-Mers, on the left bank of the Dordogne, Arveyres takes place not far from Fronsac, Libourne and Vayres, about twenty kilometers from Bordeaux.

Known for its agricultural and viticultural activity, with a large part of the municipal territory occupied by vines, Arveyres appears for the first time in the registers at the end of the 11th century. Property of the Order of the Templars of Saint John of Jerusalem at the end of the 12th century, it therefore saw the establishment of a commandery.

From now on, Arveyres is mainly focused on tourism, as well as the production of Graves-de-Vayres, wine with a controlled designation of origin.

Things to see and do

Today in ruins, the commandery of Arveyres remains visible in the town. It takes place on a small promontory, overlooking a loop of the Dordogne. The site consists of a natural wooded area of four hectares with the fortified house, the remains of a winery and a more recent small house.

Passing by Arveyres, do not miss to admire the Notre-Dame church. Built in the middle of the 19th century to replace a Romanesque building destroyed during the Revolution, it presents an architecture of classical inspiration.

Several hiking and cycling trails are also accessible in and around the town of Arveyres.

Events and festivities

The weekly market is held every Friday at the end of the afternoon on the town hall square.

In June, the Commandery hosts the Solt'ice festival with various concerts.

Mid-September, local celebrations take place with its vineyard hike, carousels, garage sale and fireworks.

A Christmas market is also offered in December.
