Bastide of Monsegur

Wi-Fi

French Spanish

Between the Dordogne and Garonne valleys, in the heart of the Entre-deux-Mers region, Monségur is the only high-altitude fortified town in Gironde. Founded in 1265 by Eleanor of Provence, it retains the structure of medieval new towns: a central square lined with covered arcades, a 24th-century glass and cast iron market hall that replaced the old stone market hall, and a Languedoc-style church. In the medieval streets, you'll discover half-timbered houses. The Flamboyant Gothic Governor's Tower is located a few meters from the central square. From the rampart walk, access leads to the towpath for a stroll along the Dropt River. The municipal archives contain the Esclapot, the book of the founding charter. Every summer, Monségur hosts the XNUMX Heures du Swing jazz festival.
