1 Agen — a 12th-century cathedral with a double nave, and art gallery, a canal.

2 Duras — the Château de Duras dates from the 17th century.

3 Marmande — the church of Notre-Dame, which dates from the 13th, 14th and 15th centuries.

4 Monflanquin — ranked among the most beautiful villages in France.

5 Nérac — home to the Roman ruins of Nérac.
