    Tournon d'Agenais, Lot-et-Garonne

    May 18–19, 2024 in France ⋅ ☁️ 18 °C

    Wending our way slowly north we have moved into Lot-et-Garonne where we are staying in another Beau Village at Tournon d'Agenais; a royal bastide overlooking the green Boudouyssou valley.
    Our aire which is provided free is at the foot of the town. We didn't mind a steep walk to the historic part of town; it was worth it!
    We enjoyed exploring the town and finishing off with a walk around the ramparts.
    We were accompanied by lovely weather today.    Read more
