town hall of Cleyrac

The town hall of Cleyrac serves as the seat of local government for a tiny commune tucked into the heart of Entre-deux-Mers, one of Gironde's most scenic corners. Located at 3 Le Bourg Nord, the building administers a community of just 158 residents spread across 6.11 km² — a place where life still follows the rhythm of the seasons and the grape harvest, far from any tourist crowds.

Where exactly is the town hall located?

The town hall sits at the center of the village, at 3 Le Bourg Nord, in the commune with postal code 33540 and INSEE code 33129. Cleyrac lies at an altitude of roughly 70 meters, amid the gently rolling hills typical of the land between the Garonne and Dordogne rivers. The commune belongs to the Communauté de communes du Coeur de l'Entre-deux-Mers, meaning many public services — from spatial planning to local development — are coordinated at the intercommunal level, while the town hall remains the first point of contact for residents.

What is the Entre-deux-Mers region?

The name Entre-deux-Mers, literally "between two seas," refers to the stretch of land between the Garonne and Dordogne rivers, east of Bordeaux. It's a landscape of vineyards rolling to the horizon, stone villages, and medieval bastide towns that have survived the centuries largely intact. The region is known for its Entre-deux-Mers AOC white wines, produced on the surrounding estates, and for a network of quiet country roads linking one vineyard to the next. Cleyrac, small as it is, shares in the same agricultural and wine-growing rhythm that defines the wider area.

What is there to see nearby?

Travelling through Entre-deux-Mers rewards a route that strings together several neighboring villages — the region is rich in Romanesque churches, châteaux, and wine estates open for tastings. Many properties sell directly to visitors, offering a close look at winemaking from vine to bottle. The terrain also suits cycling well: gentle slopes and quiet lanes make this a popular destination for cyclists seeking a slower pace away from the main tourist routes.
