Itinerary

Stop 1

Passing by

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.
Passerelle suspendue d'Agen

Passing by

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

Passing by

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”?
Pont-Canal d'Agen

Passing by

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

Passing by

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

Passing by

Now you are in front of the old church of Saint-Hilaire, or at least what remains of it.
Agen

Passing by

In France, many culinary specialties have made and continue to make their city famous.
Stop 8

Passing by

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

Passing by

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

Passing by

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.
Cathedrale Saint Caprais

Passing by

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

Passing by

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.
Stop 13

Passing by

Here you are in a busy little square. Here once stood the forum of the Gallo-Roman city and the forecourt of the first cathedral of Saint Stephen, destroyed in the 19th century. The liveliness and frequentation of the place have always made the Place des Dairiers, the heart of the city of Agen where more than one street goes, as well as this great boulevard of the Republic.
Stop 14

Passing by

Here is the Notre-Dame du Bourg chapel, a small jewel in the centre of Agen. Built at the end of the 13th century in red brick, it was at the time outside the ramparts, in the middle of a large Christian cemetery.
Musee des Beaux-Arts d'Agen

Passing by

It is a must-see in Aquitaine and one of the most important in its category in the Southwest because of its richness and diversity, the Museum of Fine Arts of Agen had to be included in the itinerary of visit of the city.
Stop 16

Passing by

The Ducourneau Theatre can be identified by its rotunda façade and is one of the emblematic sites of Agen. It was financed by a local child, Alphonse-Pierre Ducourneau, an Agene philanthropist and patron who made a fortune in 19th century Paris.
Stop 17

Passing by

Small in size, but large by its charm, Rue Beauville is one of the must-see and privileged passages in the discovery of Agen.
Stop 18

Passing by

The Church of Our Lady of Jacobins is the only remaining piece of the Dominican convent, founded in 1249 by the inquisitor Bernard de Caux over the entire western part of the city.
Stop 19

Passing by

Welcome to the Covered Point of Sale in Agen, located on Place Jean-Baptiste Durand, in the heart of this gourmet southwestern city. For centuries, the Agenese shopped openly in this square.
