Perched more than 150 meters above the Lot Valley, the fortified town of Laparade offers a spectacular view from its belvedere and public garden. Founded in 1265 by Alphonse de Poitiers, it preserves traces of its defensive past: ramparts, moats, and ancient fortified gates.

The charming village of Monteton offers a unique panorama of the 13 bell towers of the surrounding villages. You can also discover the 12th-century Notre-Dame de Monteton church.

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.

3 km south of the village of Grateloup, on a site overlooking the Garonne to the west and the Lot to the south, all that remains of the church of Saint-Gayrand are open-air ruins. Listed in the inventory of Historic Monuments, they testify to what was an impressive stone vessel, originally Romanesque (12th century) then Gothic (15th and 16th centuries). To see, the square bell tower with its stair tower which reveals the fortification of the church of Saint-Gayrand and if you have an observant eye, several sculptures of the Gothic portal which have survived the centuries, including a beautiful salamander, a Virgin with the Child and a Christ holding a globe.

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.
