Villeneuve-sur-Lot is in the Lot et Garonne department, about 30 kilometres north of Agen.

The ancient bastide town of Villeneuve-sur-Lot has now largely given way to a much larger town that surrounds it. There are still some interesting features to discover in the town - which is noteworthy in the way it has escaped the excesses of tourism that have impacted the less 'modern' bastide towns.

The centre of the town is found between two old gateways - the Porte de Paris and the Porte de Pujols - easily spotted as you approach the town from either direction. The centre of the town is now largely given over to shops (real shops not tourist shops) and makes a pleasant place to explore.

In the centre of town you will see the original town square. There are in fact quite a lot of medieval pearls to discover in Villeneuve, but you need to look for them amongs the more modern additions!

The 13th century bridge, based on the bridge at Cahors, has lost its original towers but still provides attractive views along the river valley. From here you could walk (or drive) to the nearby hilltop town of Pujols, itself a very beautiful little village.
