Tourism in Agen
What to do during your stay in Agen?
Agen and its History
From the Renaissance onwards, the city of Agen was a city abundant with architectural monuments, each as beautiful as the next. Unfortunately, many of these historical monuments were demolished during the revolution. Nevertheless, there are still some nice tourist sites to be discovered:
- The Cathedral Saint-Caprais d'Agen built in the 12th century, which is located on the pilgrimage route to Santiago de Compostela.
- The Place du docteur Esquirol, in the centre of Agen, where 3 buildings built in 3 different eras confront each other (the theatre, the museum of fine arts and the former court house).
- The Agen Canal Bridge is the 2nd largest canal bridge in France. Built in the mid-19th century, it extends 550 metres and has 23 arches.
- The houses of the rue Beauville, historic centre of Agen, a typical 15th century narrow street
