About Lot-et-Garonne

Villages and Towns in Lot-et-Garonne

A medieval fortified village, or ‘bastide’, with a delightful main square encircled by arcaded old buildings. Set on a rocky spur, its hilltop position affords lovely views over the verdant Agenais landscape and the area is ideal for enjoying countryside walks and other outdoor pursuits.

Visit Miramont-de-Guyenne on a Monday morning to shop at the weekly market, where the stalls are laden with delicious local produce (the Lot-et-Garonne region is known as the ‘orchard of France’). The bastide dates back to the 13th century (founded in fact by King Edward 1) and still conforms to the typical layout with the four main streets in a grid leading to the main square. After shopping at the market, visit the 19th century church which features a bright modern stained glass window using a deep rich blue, known as ‘Miramont blue’.

Castillonnès is one of the 41 medieval bastides to be found in the Lot-et-Garonne. It sits on a rocky hill overlooking the rich valley of the Dropt River. Although Castillonnès is only a small village, it is bustling with local people all year round so you can find some shops, cafés, restaurants, and a cinema that sometimes shows English-speaking films in their original version – subtitled in French of course.

Monflanquin is a medieval hilltop bastide, or fortified village, founded in 1256 and classified as one of the most beautiful villages of France. Although the village has lost is ramparts, it has retained its characteristic grid pattern, and the ever-bustling Place des Arcades still displays some very fine houses, for example the house of the Black Prince. There are many delicious restaurants and the main square hosts a great weekly produce market. At the beginning of August each year, the village returns to the Middle Ages, with costumed re-enactments of the activities, food and animations of those old times.
