Lot et Garonne

Lot et Garonne, located in the South West of France, is a department known for its fertile lands and rich cultural heritage. Often referred to as France's largest orchard, it is a hub for agriculture, history, and outdoor activities.

Agricultural Bounty

The department is renowned for its agricultural wealth, particularly the Pruneaux d'Agen, a type of prune whose production dates back to the 15th century. It is also famous for its wines, such as Duras and Buzet, and Armagnac in the southern part. The region is a gastronomic delight, offering an abundance of fresh fruits, vegetables, foie gras, and duck dishes.

Waterways and Outdoor Activities

Lot et Garonne boasts a significant length of navigable waterways, including the Lot and Garonne rivers and the Canal du Midi. These water bodies offer a range of water sports and fishing opportunities. Hunting is also a popular pastime, especially among the local farming community.

Architectural and Historical Richness

The department is steeped in history, with numerous architectural landmarks, including at least fourteen imposing châteaux. Agen, the capital, has origins dating back to 400 BC and features a mix of modern and medieval structures, including the Romanesque church of St Caprais.

Cultural Heritage

Agen is also home to the Fine Arts Museum, which houses treasures from the Gallo-Roman period to more recent history, including works by Goya. The town of Villeneuve sur Lot, a 13th-century Bastide, has a central square for markets and an iconic 19th-century theatre.

Local Traditions and Projects

The department takes pride in its heritage, evident from the ongoing project to restore over 535 windmills and watermills. These mills, although no longer operational, are a testament to the area's historical significance.

Accessibility

Agen is well-connected, featuring a small airport and TGV links to major cities like Paris, Toulouse, and Bordeaux. This makes the department easily accessible for both locals and tourists alike.
