Like many houses, Miramont has a grid pattern that forms an almost perfect quadrilateral of which the 4 main streets intersect at the 4 corners of the central arcade.

English once more in 1259, Miramont was already a quiet town and industrial. During the Hundred Years War, the city was repeatedly devastated and its inhabitants scattered into the surrounding countryside. In 1453, when the French had reconquered Guyenne, Miramont rose gradually from its ruins. In 1494, Charles 8th restores its former country house and allowed the election of 2 consuls responsible for raising and allocating tax.

Miramont crossed religious wars and the Revolution. But this is only the restaurant with it renewed its industrial past, including through the manufacture of leather slippers.
