Penne d'Agenais
Penne d'Agenais is a few kilometres south-east of Villeneuve-sur-Lot, on the River Lot and in the Lot et Garonne department.
A small village, Penne d'Agenais is a very pretty place to visit and was once a stopping point on one of the pilgrim paths to Santiago de Compostella.
Penne is almost a one-street town - start at the bottom of the town and keep walking upwards and you won't go far wrong, although there are some interesting small alleys and passages to investigate en-route.
There are many attractive houses and buildings in Penne d'Agenais, most carefully renovated in recent years. There are also a couple of 'arty' type shops and nicely located cafes to stop and enjoy the atmosphere.
At the top of the hill (and village) is the substantial basilica of Notre-Dame du Peyragude, surrounded by plenty of open areas suitable for your picnic. Unexpectedly, there are also some caves containing shrines at the top of the hill.
Afterwards, head below the medieval village to the Lot River and the 'Port de Penne' - the ancient port for the town.
