Sauveterre-la-Lémance
Highlight • Settlement
The prehistoric "Le Martinet" site, located in the commune, gave its name to a prehistoric period called the Sauveterrian. This is what is known as an eponymous site.
The term Sauveterrian designates flint industries dating from the Mesolithic period, i.e., around 9,000 BC. It is a very interesting period for those who study prehistory, as it is a transitional period between the Paleolithic and the Neolithic, which is often little studied. At that time, very small arrowheads (microliths) were made. What is tiny is often not very impressive and does not attract crowds.
Nevertheless, a great museum will teach you more about this period, and about the village.
In addition to its museum and site, Sauveterre also has a very beautiful medieval castle, beautiful squares and streets, as well as a few shops.

Bonaguil Castle
Highlight • Castle
Perched on a rocky spur on the border of Lot-et-Garonne and Quercy, it was entirely modernized at the end of the Middle Ages to withstand early artillery. With its drawbridges, towers, moats, and immense keep, this 7,500-square-meter fortress is considered one of the last great masterpieces of medieval military architecture... and remarkably, it has never been taken by storm.

Very beautiful castle which you can easily go around. Of square construction, it is bordered to the south by vines and is surrounded by chestnut trees.

More of a house than a castle, this place has a fantastic round tower with a curious peak.
