モントー周辺のアトラクション＆必見スポット - トップ15

Bastide founded in 1259, Castillonnés is located on the northern limit of Lot-et-Garonne, a few steps from Périgord Pourpre and Bergeracois. To see: the central square surrounded by corners, its atypical hall and its pepperpot bell tower.

The town of Castillonès is on a slight hill, so most of the roads leading to it are uphill, with gradients of 7%.

Built in concrete from June 1905 to December 1908 by the engineer Albert Claveille, it is 105 meters long and houses a hydroelectric plant2. Its commissioning in 1909 made it possible at the time to supply electricity not only to Bergerac and Périgueux, but also to Bordeaux and Angoulême.

Brocante market on Wednesday

Nice climb to a beautiful village on a hill. Very steep, but so short that it is also over in no time.

Very pretty series of locks downstream of the Tuilières dam, visitable on foot accessible by greenway.
