Attractions and Places To See around Seyches - Top 10

The vast majority of large churches in France bear the title "Notre-Dame" (which in German corresponds to the – much rarer – "Unserer Lieben Frau"). The patronage of this house of worship in the historic center of Marmande, and thus the corresponding parish community, has therefore been entrusted to Mary. The church itself is architecturally in the transition period from Romanesque to Gothic.

La Sauvetat-du-Dropt is a picturesque village crossed by the River Dropt. Its medieval bridge has 23 arches, blending Romanesque and Gothic styles.

Nowadays, they are rarely used for their original purpose, but are often just technical and historical monuments to a long tradition of craftsmanship. But here is fortunately proof of the opposite: the heavy millstones inside are moved solely by the power of the wind as the driving force, and grain is ground into flour (so-called grain mills). These old windmills are therefore the best proof that people were clever enough a number of centuries ago - long before the discovery of electricity and the inventions that followed it - to harness the natural power of the elements.

A 10th-century church, listed frescoes, and a 15th-century market hall, as well as a 17th-century dovecote, make Allemans-du-Dropt a popular destination for tourists seeking both historical riches and a pleasant lifestyle.

The Bourdeille mill, known as the Gibra mill, benefits from the prevailing winds coming from the west on its mound at the top of a hill. From Pech-de-Bère in the south – where the Lot flows into the Garonne – to the town of Marmande in the northwest, it offers you from its privileged location a profound panorama of the Garonne valley. Listed in the inventory of Historic Monuments in 1979, the Gibra windmill benefited from a restoration in the early 1980s, a perfect example of safeguarding local heritage. It has all the equipment for turning in the wind and grinding grain, and on windy days (and open to the public), you can watch milling demonstrations.
