Lauzerte
Lauzerte ('most beautiful villages of France') is 15 kilometres north of Moissac in the Tarn-et-Garonne region of the Midi-Pyrénées.
Tourist Information and places to visit
Lauzerte is a lovely small bastide town, founded by the Count of Toulouse in 1241.
It has an attractive arcaded centre square, and the side streets off from the square also contain a large number of attractive medieval houses.

There is a small but well planned 'Pilgrims garden' in the town that has won various awards from regional tourist boards and deserves to be explored.
From the edge of town there are open views over miles of countryside - the town is set on a hill. Look north from the Place du Chateau and south from the steps above the pilgrim garden for the best views.
The town is also a stop on the major pilgrim routes through France (it is on the GR65 national pathway).
We highly recommend a visit to Lauzerte if you are in this part of France, or as a detour if you are visiting Moissac. We discovered Lauzerte almost by accident, on the return from Moissac, and found a town in full renovation - streets upturned, houses being reconstructed and improved. So I suspect that the Lauzerte you will see now is quite different to that of a few years ago.
Market day is Wednesday morning at the Place du Foirail and Saturday morning at the Place des Cornieres.
