Libourne - Restaurant Le Ma

Leybornia (Libourne) was founded in 1270 as a bastide on the site of the Roman settlement of Fozera. It was named after the town's founder, Roger of Leybourne an English seneschal of Gascony, under the authority of King Edward I of England. Aquitaine was under English rule at the time. It suffered considerably in the struggles of the French and English for the possession of Gironde in the 14th century, and joined France in the 15th century.

The restaurant Le Ma is part of the Hotel de la Tour, which is located at the foot of the 14th century fortifications. The restaurant offers seasonal French cuisine based on home-made products.
