Tournon d’Agenais, a hilltop bastide in Quercy, nestled in the hills of south-western France
Perched on a hilltop, Tournon d’Agenais invites you to take in the view! Here, you can stroll beneath the arcades of the royal bastide, look up at the bell tower with its lunar clock and enjoy the panoramic view over the Boudouyssou valley.
Throughout the year, the village comes alive: flower fairs, food markets and the Fête des Rosières mark the changing seasons. After your walk, sample the local produce of the South-West and let yourself be charmed by this medieval bastide, situated between Agenais and Quercy.
The Royal Bastide of Agenais
Bathed in the southern sunshine, Tournon d’Agenais offers a getaway full of character: medieval alleyways, ramparts and a peaceful atmosphere.
Words from the people of Tournon
As recently as 75 years ago, the people of Tournon used to fetch their water from the main square… until a water tower was built into the church tower!
