Agen Centre, history, art and monuments

Nicknamed the prune capital, Agen has many other wonders.

A cultural stroll from the Middle Ages to the Fine Arts

Exploring the city center of this town, established around 400 BC on the right bank of the Garonne River, you'll discover architectural monuments. Among them, the Saint-Caprais Cathedral stands out, its interior reminiscent of the Saint-Sernin Basilica in Toulouse. In a completely different style, the Museum of Fine Arts is housed in four Renaissance mansions. If you'd like to delve into medieval Agen, stroll along Rue Beauville to admire several perfectly restored 15th-century half-timbered houses. Staying in your Agen hotel allows you to spread your visit over several days.
