Architecture and history.

The bastide town of Villeneuve-sur-Lot, halfway between Bordeaux and Toulouse, has both feudal and religious origins. Villeneuve-sur-Lot was founded in 1255 and very quickly became one of the most important bastides in the South-West. This bastide has a classical architecture with an orthogonal plan surrounding a central square with arcades and 8 converging streets. The originality of this bastide lies in the fact that it straddles the river. In 1279, it became an English possession and played a crucial role in the Hundred Years' War.
