Welcome to Meilhan-sur-Garonne, one of the most beautiful panoramas of Lot-et-Garonne with its exceptional view of the Garonne canal, the river and its valley! At the gates of the Gironde and Between two seas, the village is a festive hotspot in summer with its country producers' markets...

It is on this Oligocene promontory that a fortress was built in the Middle Ages so high and so impressive that the only way not to see it around was simply... to be inside it. If the medieval tower has disappeared, Meilhan remains famous in a completely different field: gluttony. It is there, every Wednesday in July and August that the unmissable and delicious events take place farmers markets. A real institution in the Val de Garonne, to be consumed without moderation. And for difficult digestions, nothing like a course Terra Aventura who since la nautical stop will make you take the terrible stairs of the breach of the English. But the view that awaits you at the top will reward all your efforts. And don't forget, from the top of this mound, 30 million years look down on you!
