A Town of Art and History on the banks of the Garonne, La Réole invites you to discover its heritage and historical monuments. Dating from the 18th century, the Benedictine priory, which now houses the administrative services of the town hall, has some magnificent listed ironwork such as the cloister railings and the staircase banisters, which were made by the ironworker Blaise Charlut.
Close to the old monastery stands another of the town's iconic buildings: the 13th-century castle of Quat'Sos, of which three imposing towers remain. The remains of the walls that dot the city also bear witness to the medieval past of La Réole. The former Benedictine priory church, St. Peter's, built in the 12th and 17th centuries, still retains a Gothic portal, a Romanesque apse and a spacious nave.
Then head towards the old town hall, located between Place Richard Coeur de Lion and the Place des Martyrs de la Résistance. Dating from the 12th century, this civil building, which was erected at the request of Richard the Lionheart, is one of the oldest in France! La Réole also has cobbled streets and half-timbered houses that can be admired on a stroll...
