Between Bordeaux and Toulouse, at the crossroads of Périgord des Landes and Gascogne, Lot-et-Garonne cultivates the spirit of the Southwest. Designed by its rivers and rolling countryside, the region of Agen is the destination of the art of living: Good products, heritage, markets, boat trips and cycling.
Historical clashes, it has kept admirable vestiges : Bastides or fortresses, museums or monuments ... But also the taste for the welcome and the conviviality.
The softness of its landscapes is an invitation to the walk, bike, horse or boat.
If the prune of Agen endorses the status of emblem, strawberry, hazelnuts, tomatoes, wines, foie gras, armagnac are also worth the status of gastronomic destination.
