Aiguillon: Holiday apartments and holiday homes
Culture
The Musée Raoul Dastrac has been housed in the former chapel of the fishermen of the Lot since 1991. Its triangular gable and four columns are reminiscent of the architecture of Roman temples. The museum displays paintings by Raoul Dastrac, a post-Impressionist painter from the first half of the 20th century who was born and died in Aiguillon. Temporary exhibitions by living artists or retrospectives are held there regularly.
Construction of the Château d'Aiguillon began in 1765 for Emmanuel Armand Duplessis-Richelieu, the Duke of Aiguillon, based on plans by the architect Leroy; the château was never completed. At present, the Château d'Aiguillon can only be viewed from the outside.
The Château de Lunac in Aiguillon was built in the 13th century, was already mentioned in 1259, and was constructed on the ruins of a Gallo-Roman castellum.
The Église Saint-Félix was once a Romanesque church with two naves dating from the 14th century. Its present form dates from 1850 and includes neo-Gothic architecture, remarkable stained-glass windows, and a 19th-century organ.
The Bastide d'Aiguillon can be visited free of charge all year round; guided tours are available by arrangement.
La Tourasse is a circular Roman funerary monument in Aiguillon in the Lot-et-Garonne department. It is located near a Gallo-Roman necropolis and probably along the route of the Roman road from Agen to Bordeaux. La Tourasse was included in the first list of historic monuments.
The Atelier Lunac displays oil paintings, salt-dough artworks, and painted antique household objects. It can be visited independently or as part of a guided tour.
