Discover the charm of Sauveterre-saint-denis surroundings

A very steep start, but the reward is at the top, with a vast panorama of the Garonne valley, the hills of Gascony, and even further away, depending on the weather, the Pyrenees. To the north are the hills of the Pays de Serres, from Bon-Encontre to Puymirol. The return journey is quieter, on the greenway of the Garonne canal.

This route, which links two isolated churches in the Agen countryside, crosses the deep and narrow Mondot valley twice. This promises some steep climbs, but the effort will be rewarded by the views offered over the Garonne valley...

Discover the medieval streets before getting lost on the steep hillsides from where you will see the Gers valley, the Garonne plain and perhaps by chance the Pyrenees. This village with a rich heritage was an important medieval town thanks to its inland waterways on the Gers and the Garonne. First door of Gascony, its history was marked by the arrival of illustrious guests. Pope Urban II went there in May 1096 and consecrated the heart of the Church of Saint-Martin, today classified as a Historic Monument. Archbishop Bertrand de Goth, future Pope Clement V, stayed there in the 14th century. Jeanne d'Albret, Queen of Navarre, stopped here on 15 January 1572 on her way to Paris for the wedding of her son, King Henry IV of France; the latter came in his turn on 16 August 1576, at a time when the Layracaise city was a stronghold of Protestantism in Agenais.

Built on a hillside overlooking the confluence of the Gers and Garonne rivers to the north, this village grew up around a Cluniac priory dating from the 11th century.

This tour starts off well by climbing the cliff's Way of the Cross which leads to the foot of the monumental statue of the Virgin, overlooking the town and the Garonne valley. After visiting the Romanesque church of Ste-Radegonde, you will walk along the Garonne canal which connects Castets-en-Dorthe to Toulouse and its Voie Verte (Green Way) which links the Mediterranean. The Côte de Castillou will lead you to the plateau, a little too urbanized, but where the church of St-Ferréol is nestled. You will walk along the Agenais golf course before descending into the valley. Pedestrian and cyclist paths will lead you back to the town hall square, via the parish church.

After an easy start in the plain on a pedestrian path, you will gradually climb towards the Agenais golf course, then onto the Martinet plateau to discover the roofs of the town and the Garonne valley from the viewpoint of the Virgin and its orientation table.

If this circuit takes place initially in the valley of Séoune, the second part runs on the long plateau overhanging the valley of the Garonne and the hillsides of Gascony in the south. To the north, the first escarpments of the Pays de Serres appear.

This small circuit, starting from a typical bastide village built in the 13th and 14th centuries, offers no difficulty, but requires great vigilance when crossing the departmental roads. The vineyards of the Brulhois and the plum orchards of Ente share the cultivated area.

Starting at the Place du Gravier on the banks of the Garonne, this route allows you to discover this two thousand year-old town’s historical sites by following the 19 special signs.

360° of panoramas, from the nearest to the farthest, the Garonne valley, the surrounding villages of Clermont-Soubiran or Saint-Pierre-de-Clairac, the bastide of Puymirol or, on a clear day, the peaks of the Pyrenees...

However, the church’s architecture suggests that it dates back to the 12th century. The church has an arched bell tower, with two bells weighing 400 and 100 kilos, and a well-preserved Romanesque porch. The porch has three arches, and the architectural interest of this doorway is found in the geometrical patterns displayed on these arches.

This Romanesque church dates back to the 12th century. The chapel comprises a nave bordered by four columns and a raised chancel, with two columns forming its entrance.
