Montréal

Pilgrims on the Via Podiensis pass through Montréal, a Gascon bastide on a steep site above the Auzoue whose regular streets lead to a central square lined with arcades. It is the capital of the Ténarèze, the Armagnac brandy country. Just outside lies the Gallo-Roman villa of Séviac, and a nearby quarry is one of France's richest fossil sites.
