For the European Heritage Days, take a break in the Pays de Lauzun and discover the bastide of Miramont-de-Guyenne!

Miramont-de-Guyenne is a former royal bastide, called at the beginning «Miramont-de-Lauzon» since founded on the lands of the Duke of Lauzun, around 1280, by Edward I King of England.
Miramont; the city which "targets", which looks at the "mount", to the north, that is to say the hill of "Touvent", has the very particular characters of the English bastides of the south of France.
The bastide went through the vicissitudes of the Hundred Years War (1337-1453), and became definitively French in 1453. It even obtained a charter from Charles VIII, in 1494. This rare fact constitutes a peculiarity of our bastide.
The bastides are recognizable, as Miramont-de-Guyenne attests, by a checkered plan organized around a central square. All the main streets leave.
Enter the maze of small streets, let yourself be surprised by our bastide and discover its history to the rhythm of an almost perfect quadrilateral!
