See all
For a stay of 3 to 6 days, a quiet rhythm works well. Also to be anticipated: heat possible in summer. A car is usually the easiest way to connect different sectors. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be checked step by step.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Canal
Canal latéral
The lateral canal at La Garonne offers a smooth path where water, banks and structures frame the movement. It is a landscape shaped, especially by following the docks and then leaving the shore for elevated points. The reflections make every hour of the day different.
Historic centre
Bastides
The bastides of Agen and Lot-et-Garonne show a thought, clear and legible urban geometry. The carrossable streets, regular facades and squares give a good visual entrance. A walk on a square, then a slower climb, enough to feel their overall logic.
Valley
Vallée du Lot
The Lot Valley ensnares the visitor between open banks and soft reliefs, with progressive points of view that open up to the rhythm of the walk. The landscape is revealed in successive layers: water, hillsides, roads, villages. A good program is based on slow and short transitions.
