Discover Lot-et-Garonne
A place worth slowing down for
Lot-et-Garonne has an easy-going character: hilltop bastides, broad river valleys, vineyards, orchards and market towns surrounded by countryside that still feels agricultural and lived-in.
The department sits between Bordeaux, the Dordogne and Gascony, combining the Lot and Garonne valleys with bastide country, Armagnac-edge landscapes and a strong food culture.

Four landscapes of Lot-et-Garonne
Lot-et-Garonne is not one single landscape. The Lot valley, Agen and the Garonne, bastide country in the north-east, and the Gascon south-west each give a different flavour to a stay.
The Lot Valley
Riverside towns, orchards & hilltop villages
Villeneuve-sur-Lot anchors a broad valley lined with farms, orchards and historic settlements. Pujols and Penne-d’Agenais rise above the river, while cycling routes follow the valley through quieter countryside.

Bastide country
Arcaded squares & medieval hill towns
The north-east contains some of the department’s strongest bastide scenery, with Monflanquin, Villeréal and Tournon-d’Agenais combining planned medieval centres with rolling rural landscapes.

Agen & the Garonne
Markets, canal paths & the department’s capital
Agen sits beside the Garonne and Canal de Garonne, with a compact centre and excellent access to cycling and river-country day trips. Nearby Moirax and Puymirol bring smaller-scale heritage.

Albret, Nérac & Duras
Gascon character, vineyards & château country
Nérac and the Baïse bring Renaissance and Gascon history to the south-west, while Duras sits in vineyard country near the Gironde and Dordogne borders, crowned by its château.

What makes Lot-et-Garonne special
Bastides, châteaux & village squares
Lot-et-Garonne rewards slow touring. Arcaded bastides such as Monflanquin and Villeréal sit alongside Château de Duras, Château de Gavaudun and smaller historic towns that rarely feel overrun.
Rivers, cycling & boating
The Lot, Garonne, Baïse and Canal de Garonne give the department a strong waterside identity, with cycle routes, towpaths, boat trips and picnic-friendly river stops.
Markets, orchards & south-west flavours
This is serious produce country: Agen prunes, Marmande tomatoes, strawberries, hazelnuts, wines and farmers’ markets are part of the landscape as much as the bastides.
Travel & getting around
Getting to & around Lot-et-Garonne
The A62 crosses the department between Bordeaux and Toulouse, with Agen as the main transport hub. The N21 and departmental roads connect the Lot valley and northern bastide country.
Agen has TGV and regional rail services, while Marmande and other towns have useful TER connections. For rural holiday homes and village touring, a car gives much greater freedom.
Bordeaux and Toulouse are the principal international airports for the department, with Bergerac also potentially useful for the north depending on routes and where you are staying.
