Mansonville
Mansonville is a pretty little 'bastide' village. Set back from the road from Valence-d'Agen to Fleurance and Auch, the village is almost entirely stone built with the line of the original walls clearly visible.
The village is well-maintained, and includes a convenience store, providing fresh bread daily and essential provisions. Adjoining the shop is a restaurant, 'Le Saint Saturnin', which serves an excellent selection of dishes at reasonable prices at both lunchtime and in the evening. The restaurant also does takeaway pizzas.
There is a farmers' market each Monday on the square outside the house and a boucherie van every Wednesday.
The 'commune' comes to extravagant life in mid-August for the 'fête', providing a lively weekend of special entertainment of a very French nature! The locals come out in force and are very welcoming; it's a great time to connect with French rural culture.
