Sauveterre-de-Guyenne is a bastide. A bastide is a type of French medieval town, founded in the 13th and 14th centuries, primarily in southwestern France. A bastide is characterized by a rectangular street pattern that divides the town into eight blocks around a central market square. The Treaty of Paris (1229) prohibited the building of walls around new towns. Many bastides were provided with some form of fortification, such as gates, after their founding to provide some protection during turbulent times. Most bastides had only local significance and did not develop into large towns. As a result, many bastides, such as that of Sauveterre-de-Guyenne, have been preserved in their original state.

Using the power of moving water to drive a mill wheel is an ancient invention that dates back to pre-Christian times. Thanks to such a construction, human or animal muscle power could be easily replaced by a watercourse - natural or artificially created - in order to grind grain into corn, for example. There are essentially two different ways of driving watermills: Either the water simply hits the blades of the water wheel from below to set it in motion; or the water is guided above the wheel and falls onto the blades; this type of construction is more efficient due to natural gravity.

The Garonne Lateral Canal is a navigable canal that connects Toulouse to Castets-en-Dorthe, France. 193 kilometers long, it follows the Garonne valley and connects the Mediterranean Sea to the Atlantic Ocean. It is part of the network of canals in southwestern France and is an important route for the river transport of goods. The Garonne side canal was built in the 19th century to meet the growing needs for transporting goods in the region. It made it possible to transport goods such as wine, wood and coal, as well as passengers. Today, the canal is mostly used for river tourism, with many cruises organized for visitors wishing to experience the beauty of the region from the water. Visitors can hire boats to navigate the canal or simply stroll along the towpaths, which offer panoramic views of the surrounding countryside. The canal lateral to the Garonne is lined with picturesque towns and villages, historic castles and renowned vineyards. Visitors can also discover the local gastronomy in the many restaurants and inns located along the canal.
