Castelsagrat

Visit Castelsagrat (Midi-Pyrenees, France)

Castelsagrat is a charming bastide town in the western part of the Tarn-and-Garonne department midway between Agen and Moissac. The town is within the boundaries of the rural 'Pays Agenais' region.

Exploring Castelsagrat

It doesn't take long to visit the village. The focus in Castelsagrat is the main central square, the Place de la Liberté, which is surrounded by lovely stone arcaded buildings dating from the 13th and 14th centuries.

The large central square no longer has the traditional covered market hall found in many bastide towns but it has been planted with trees and has a selection of large planters painted pale blue to match the dominant colour of the shutters around the square, which makes for a very attractive town square.

Down the side streets running off the square there are also some beautiful half-timbered buildings, and more period houses in stone.

The church of Castelsagrat stands on the corner of the main square and has a particularly fine altarpiece.

Places near to Castelsagrat

The region around the town is a quiet rural environment, peaceful even in the height of summer. There are several other small towns and villages which, like Castelsagrat itself, don't individually take long to explore but are very pleasant and a reminder of a France that is no longer easy to find - close by these include Brassac, Montjoi, Beauville and Bourg-de-Visa.

The quiet roads and gently rolling landscapes make this an ideal region for cycling in the south of France.
