Laroque-Timbaut
Laroque-Timbaut is located between Agen and Villeneuve-sur-Lot, in the south-eastern Lot et Garonne, where it is within the 'Pays Agenais' region.
The village has a sleepy medieval centre with a halle and an ancient clock tower - the Tour de l’Horologe. Most of the commerce of this small town is elsewhere making the Place de la Halle a very tranquil spot to sit and admire the buildings and the view over the valley.
Wander through the stone arch in the clock tower and into a narrow passage - The Rue du Lo - with the donjon on the right and old stone cottages on the left. The donjon is all that remains of a castle which was demolished by the villagers before the French Revolution in revenge against the last Seigneur. The donjon is now the water tower for the village.
As you descend down the passage you look down on the lovely terracotta roofs of some more cottages, unfortunately falling to ruin and here there are fabulous views over the tree-filled valley below. One day this passage will have all its buildings renovated and the edges planted and it will be fantastic. But even now it’s very pleasant and you can keep walking down to the roue Empire, a large water wheel built in 1845 which provides the village with water.
One of the armies of Charlemagne passed through the village in 778 and according
to legend was cured of an epidemic by the waters of the valley.
