Auvillar

Stage on the way to Saint-Jacques de Compostelle, Auvillar is easily identified by its surprising circular grain market in the heart of the village. A warm and special atmosphere emanates from the traditional dwellings made of a mixture of red bricks and white stones. The ancient Gallo-Roman city experienced its golden age with earthenware and the quill pen industry. In addition to the Place de la Halle, take the time to stroll through the streets to admire the clock, the church, the castle square and its viewpoint over the Garonne, the rue des Nobles, the washhouse and go down to port to admire the Sainte Catherine chapel. Be sure to explore the art and craft galleries, the exhibition at the Tourist Office, the Vieil Auvillar museum, and take a break in the many restaurants in this pretty village. Every Sunday morning, the producers await you in the square for the traditional market. And the first Sunday of the month, in addition to the market, come and enjoy the small flea market in the village. During the summer period, find the organic market on Wednesday evening.
