Landscape
The Église Notre-Dame de l’Assomption stands on a hill. From there, it overlooks the village and part of the valley in which the Marguestaud flows into the Garonne. The pond in Pelleport is also part of the local history: it is the last remnant of a moat that originated from the former water-filled moats of the Commanderie de Pelleport and flows into the Marguestaud stream.
Culture and History
The bell tower of the Église Notre-Dame de l’Assomption in Pelleport collapsed in 1766; the church was rebuilt at the end of the 18th century.
