The vast majority of large churches in France bear the title "Notre-Dame" (which in German corresponds to the – much rarer – "Unserer Lieben Frau"). The patronage of this house of worship in the historic center of Marmande, and thus the corresponding parish community, has therefore been entrusted to Mary. The church itself is architecturally in the transition period from Romanesque to Gothic.

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.

Built on the banks of the Garonne, as its name suggests, the small village lives to the rhythm of the numerous floods and the vagaries of the river. Every year, an international journalism festival takes place there, in a festive and family atmosphere. A good opportunity to discover the city, its beautiful church, to take a stroll on the water or to move your hips during the many concerts!

Almost every year, Couthures-sur-Garonne transforms into "Couthures sous Garonne", because of floods. With these floods, Couthures is fertile. This is even where the village takes its name: Culturis, cultures in Latin, became Couthures over time.

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.
