Imminent departure to the land of the prune
In the heart of the Great South West, ideally situated in the centre of the Lot et Garonne (47) where it is the land of the prune, a medieval bastide dating from the 13th century, the town of Villeneuve sur lot is the cradle of medieval villages with stone and half-timbered buildings, surrounded by fields of sunflowers and poppies and where the sun and the warmth of the sun set the pace for the song of the cicadas and crickets
