Located in the Lot-et-Garonne, Tournon d’Agenais is a bastide village on top of a hill with stunning views over the surrounding valleys. The village is home to several impressive architectural monuments such as a bell tower with its lunar clock, the town hall which is a mediaeval building dating from the 13th century and the Saint-André de Carabaisse church.
In 2021, the village was accepted to the prestigious Plus Beaux Villages de France association which recognises the prettiest villages in France.
Tournon d’Agenais is famous for its tourtière - an apple dessert made with an alcohol based sauce and sheets of flaky pastry. Every August, the village hosts its tourtière festival - making it a perfect time to visit and to taste this regional speciality. Another lovely time to visit is in May when the village hosts its annual Foire aux Plantes!
2023 sees the introduction of a Wine Festival!
Lot-et-Garonne is a department which economically relies on fruit and tourism. Sometimes known as the Tuscany of France, the landscape is a colourful combination of sunflowers, vines, orchards and red tiled roofs.
Agriculture is an essential part of the local economy and the area is particularly famous for its Pruneau d’Agen which even has a dedicated museum, hazelnuts from the Vallée du Lot, succulent tomatoes from Marmande and strawberries grown in Val de Garonne.
The reliance on tourism also means there is plenty going on and the area surrounding Tournon d’Agenais offers plenty of local attractions such as the Château de Bonaguil (22 km) and the Château de Gavaudun (24 km). The local villages of Pujols (29 km) and Penne d’Agenais (16 km) are also popular days out. Surrounded by nature, there are plenty of cycling and walking trails available for those who love the great outdoors!
Despite the rural location, the surrounding larger towns and cities offer great shopping facilities, fun days out and excellent transport hubs.
