ロングヴィル周辺のアトラクション＆必見スポット - トップ17

フランスの大多数の大聖堂は「Notre-Dame」（ドイツ語では、はるかにまれに見られる「Unserer Lieben Frau」に相当します）という称号を持っています。したがって、マルマンドの歴史的中心部にあるこの礼拝堂、そしてそれに対応する教区は、マリアに託されました。教会自体は、建築技術的にはロマネスク様式からゴシック様式への移行期に位置しています。

This greenway, called So Vélo, connects Marmande to Pindères. Along the road, you'll find furniture for taking breaks. This cycle path is ideal for exploring the Garonne Valley.

Nowadays, they are rarely used for their original purpose, but are often just technical and historical monuments to a long tradition of craftsmanship. But here is fortunately proof of the opposite: the heavy millstones inside are moved solely by the power of the wind as the driving force, and grain is ground into flour (so-called grain mills). These old windmills are therefore the best proof that people were clever enough a number of centuries ago - long before the discovery of electricity and the inventions that followed it - to harness the natural power of the elements.

Rembrandt, born July 15, 1606, died October 4, 1669 is considered one of the greatest painters in the history of art European Baroque and one of the most important painters of the Dutch School of the 17th century. He produced more than 400 paintings, 300 etchings and 300 drawings. In 1631, he painted Christ on the Cross which is visible in the St-Vincent collegiate church of Mas-d’Agenais. From the paved square with a medieval-looking market hall, you must enter the 12th century Collegiate Church, get lost between sarcophagi and sculpted stalls, before discovering “The Crucifixion”. The painting is part of a series by the master on the Passion of Christ.

The Bourdeille mill, known as the Gibra mill, benefits from the prevailing winds coming from the west on its mound at the top of a hill. From Pech-de-Bère in the south – where the Lot flows into the Garonne – to the town of Marmande in the northwest, it offers you from its privileged location a profound panorama of the Garonne valley. Listed in the inventory of Historic Monuments in 1979, the Gibra windmill benefited from a restoration in the early 1980s, a perfect example of safeguarding local heritage. It has all the equipment for turning in the wind and grinding grain, and on windy days (and open to the public), you can watch milling demonstrations.

Interesting church in town, right next to it a nice little open market hall. More information: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Le_Mas-d%E2%80%99Agenais?wprov=sfla1

Beautiful canal, beautiful landscape, a few locks, a few places to stop for refreshments. Not always the best interface.

The section marked here will be accessible in June 2023. Already completely finished from Casteljaloux, including signage, bollards and road markings. In the last few kilometers before the current end, there are still provisional “concrete Lego bricks” at the intersections with car roads. Work is currently underway on the further section to Marmande. Completion will not take long.
