Bastide de Monclar-d'Agenais

Overlooking the Tolzac valley, Monclar d’Agenais was built in 1256 by Alphonse de Poitiers. A model for other fortified towns, the bastide’s layout remains almost unchanged, with a rectangular main square housing a church in one of its corners. There are still some traces of the old town today: a few wood-panelled and stone houses, the covered market, several cornices and the Saint Clair church, whose 15th century porch is a listed sight of historical interest.
