Lot-et-Garonne walks

Near the magnificent Bastide d'Eymet, enjoy a family walk along Lac de l'Escourou, where you can observe the region's flora and fauna. The small lake is equipped for bird watching. Children can answer the short quizzes scattered along the route.

This route allows you to discover one of the least known fortified castles in Lot-et-Garonne, its fortified village and its green valley: Gavaudun. It passes through the hamlet of Laurenque and its elegant 12th-century church. You will see the moving ruins of the Priory of Saint-Sardos and discover the legend associated with it. Off the route, you can visit the village of Saint-Avit, home to the Bernard Palissy Museum (potter, enameller, painter, glass craftsman, writer and scholar).

From 26 June to 30 October 2025, cardboard artist Stéphane Munoz is exhibiting eight of his works in the centre of Agen. Here is a walk that allows you to discover this temporary exhibition and some historical curiosities of the city of prunes.

A short hike along Lake Escourou before climbing up into the vineyards with magnificent views of the lake and the surrounding countryside.

A short circular route alternating between roads and paths between Monbalen-mairie and Monbalen-village. This route passes through the Caoulet valley to the north and Saint-Antoine de Ficalba to the west before reaching the old village of Monbalen to the south.

A beautiful hike starting from the pretty village of Soumensac. From the car park, you will have a magnificent view of the typical Lot-et-Garonne countryside. You will cross the plain, undergrowth and vineyards. The view of the village of Soumensac from above on the way back is a feast for the eyes.

A circular loop starting from Saint-Macaire Church in the commune of Lauzun. Very pretty scenery from the church. The walk takes you along paths through fields, through a hamlet, past pastures and an orchard, and through undergrowth where you will pass close to a pidgeon hunting hut.
