Agen : l'Ermitage, la boucle de Vérone
The Verona loop invites you to walk through the Monbran and Hermitage plateaus, between the two you will walk through the Verona valley, carved out by the Courbarieux, a small tributary of the Garonne
Halfway between Bordeaux and Toulouse, Agen, the capital of the Lot-et-Garonne region, is brimming with treasures, from the Unesco World Heritage-listed Saint-Caprais cathedral to the timber-framed houses of Rue Beauville and the four Renaissance mansions that house the Musée des Beaux-arts. A visit here is an opportunity to discover one of the richest and most varied collections in the South-West.
This 12.9 km circuit takes you from the old town to the Monbran and Ermitage plateaus, in between which you'll survey the Verona valley, carved out by the Courbarieux, a small tributary of the Garonne. The highlight of the trip is the crossing of the bridge-canal over the Garonne, the second longest bridge-canal in France. A host of discoveries to delight history and architecture buffs, gourmets and nature lovers alike.
