Your experience
Stop 1
In Agen, from the city center to the Garonne, there is only one step. And this step, here we suggest you to do it at one of the favorite places of walk of the locals. That is to say on the pleasant and green esplanade du Gravier.
Stop 2
If it can’t steal the show at the canal bridge, located on your right a few meters above, the suspension bridge remains one of the quick and pleasant ways to connect the Gravel Parkway to the end of Gambetta Street.
Stop 3
You arrive here at Jasmine Square. Posture very right, left hand on the chest, while the other seems to want to accompany a flood of imaginary words, but who could this man be? And what is its link with the “prune capital”?
Stop 4
Of all the must-sees of the Agenese heritage that our itinerary brings together, the one we are about to present is undoubtedly one of the most important. If not the first on the list!
Stop 5
An important religious centre, Agen is one of its cities that can present several places of worship to its visitors, other than its Saint-Caprais Cathedral.
Stop 6
Now you are in front of the old church of Saint-Hilaire, or at least what remains of it.
Stop 7
In France, many culinary specialties have made and continue to make their city famous.
Stop 8
As little known as it is emblematic, the Senechal’s house is believed to be the oldest civilian dwelling in Agen. For a closer look, walk down Salmon Well Street and stop at number 17.
Stop 9
If with their bell tower or spires the churches manage to dominate the rooftops of Agen, the construction here makes them a nice leg.
Stop 10
If from the train station it is one of the first heritage images of Agen you can see, at the narrow intersection of these streets, the presence of Sainte-Foy church is slightly disconcerting.
Stop 11
If the prune is the emblem of Agen and the canal bridge, its pride, the Cathedral of Saint-Caprais, is its sacred nugget.
Stop 12
In Agen, if there is one street everyone prefers, it is the Rue des Cornières! A true open-air history book, this artery was the main economic lung of the city between the 13th and 19th centuries.
