Tips from the Community
Saint-Maurin is located in the hollow of a green valley where the Escorneboeuf flows. To see: its half-timbered houses, its market hall, the remains of the Benedictine abbey from the 11th and 12th centuries and its abbey castle built in 1500.

The construction of Saint-Maurin Abbey dates from the end of the 11th century, following its affiliation with Moissac Abbey and the Benedictine order. This large monastic ensemble spread out to numerous surrounding churches and priories, as many possessions which showed its influence and importance within a radius of 20 kilometers. Ruined then restored several times during the Hundred Years' War and during the Wars of Religion, it was during the Revolution that the buildings were sold in batches. Today, you can still admire the choir of the old abbey church as well as two chapels, the cloister, the convent buildings, the abbey castle and its gardens.

Combebonnet would have originally been the center of a rural exploitation. To defend it, its owner would have built a small fortress. The original castle had the shape of a right triangle whose east and west angles were topped with cantilevered watchtowers. Two of the sides were naturally fortified. At the end of the 13th or beginning of the 14th century, a square tower armed with cross pattée loopholes was added to the north corner. The castle was remodeled and enlarged at the end of the 15th or beginning of the 16th century. It was perhaps at this time that buildings, now demolished, were attached to the east, and a chapel was built as well as the enclosure which defended some houses. In the 17th century, the castle was extended on the north side. The two semi-circular portals decorated with columns, giving access to the courtyard, date from this period. To the west stands a chapel with a flat apse.

Castelsagrat is a 13th century country house, following a characteristic geometric plan. The central village square with its arcades, benches in the shade, a bakery and a café make it a perfect place for a lunch break!

Bastide which spreads out along the canal built in the 13th century and which has very large Halles, 3 washhouses and a very pretty port on the Canal du Midi. The v80, which connects Agen or Moissac, passes just below the village.

The first mention of this castle dates from around 1350. It dominates a deep valley and is visible from the east and south. It is not known exactly why, but in 1790 local troublemakers threatened to burn the castle, but the villagers came to its aid.
