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.
