Route details
Description
This hike with very shallow relief connects the village irrigated by the Garonne and the Canal des Deux Mers. As you pass through Le Mas-d'Agenais, from the paved square with a medieval-looking market hall, do not hesitate to enter the Collegiate Church of Saint-Vincent.
It is considered one of the most remarkable buildings in Lot-et-Garonne, for several reasons. First of all, its architecture is a mixture of styles, it notably includes a 12th century portal. The collegiate church also owes its fame to the fact that it houses the sarcophagus and funerary stele of Saint-Vincent, whose relics had been housed in the 5th century. Finally, the Mas-d'Agenais collegiate church is famous for its magnificent paintings, including a masterpiece by Rembrandt, representing Christ expiring on the cross.
