Aquitaine - Bordeaux Region Attractions

The landscape of Lot-et-Garonne Region is reminiscent of Tuscany with green hills, woodlands and a mild climate. Attractions of interest can be found in the towns of Agen, Damazan, Duras, Marmande, le Mas d'Agenais, Monteton, Nérac, Vianne and Xaintrailles.

A "foire aux vins" festival normally takes place in Duras during the second half of July.

Mont-de-Marsan (pop. 32,234), chief town of the département of Landes, lies at the junction of two little rivers, the Midour and the Douze, which unite to form the Midouze. The Municipal Museum, housed in two 14th C. buildings, contains an archeological collection and works by modern sculptors. The Fêtes de la Madeleine in July are a great annual occasion, with bullfights, horse races and other events.

20km/12.5mi southwest of Millau is the little town of Roquefort, famous for its cheese; visitors can see round the cellars in which it is matured.
