Valence d'Agen

This 13th century bastide is worth discovering with its shops, bars and restaurants. It is on Tuesday morning, the day of its emblematic market, that we advise you to go there. Since the creation of the bastide in 1283, it has been the unmissable meeting place for gourmets. In a colorful atmosphere, appetizing smells mingle with the good mood. All local products are present: sun-drenched fruits and vegetables from the Garonne valley, free-range chickens, local charcuterie... and of course the stars of South-West good living: duck confit and foie gras! Every Saturday morning, a farmers' market is also held under the Place Nationale hall.
Also worth discovering: its three wash houses, its contemporary sculptures, its covered market halls, its dovecote, its port and the Canal des Deux Mers.
Valence d’Agen is the central town of the Deux Rives territory. You will find all the local shops there, but also clothing, decoration, bookstore, jewelry, three supermarkets, pharmacies... a medical center... and bars, restaurants, wine cellar and takeaway sales. You will also find the Apollo cinema-theater there which offers a rich and diverse program throughout the year.

Throughout the summer period, you can rent bikes to explore the banks of the canal (reservation at the Valence d'Agen Tourist Office in at +335 63 39 61 67).
