The river bastide of Villeneuve-sur-Lot

Founded in 1264 by Alphonse de Poitiers, Villeneuve-sur-Lot is the largest river bastide in the Southwest of France. Like all bastide towns, it was built on an orthogonal plan organized around a central square, Place Lafayette.

Villeneuve-sur-Lot will charm you with its streets and alleyways, where the medieval era still shines through on the facades of the timber-framed houses, or with the Cieutat bridge, witness over the centuries to the whims of the indomitable River Lot. And let’s not forget the remarkable Sainte-Catherine church, founded in the 19th century, with its 55-metre-high bell tower.

Whatever the season, the bastide is the place to be for a wide range of events that will make your stay unforgettable.

With its 400 shops, the bastide town of Villeneuve-sur-Lot will meet all your needs to ensure your stay is a memorable one.

The bastide town of Villeneuve-sur-Lot,

it’s a 500-metre condensed history of France.
