It developed as an important settlement along the Garonne River,
where trade and regional exchange supported its growth
from Roman times through the Middle Ages.
For centuries, merchants, farmers, and craftsmen shaped its identity,
while the surrounding countryside became known for fertile orchards and vineyards.
Today, the historic center and canalside areas

stone facades,
and markets that continue long-standing local traditions.
Few places in France express such a close connection between town and countryside.
