Bathed by the clear waters of the Urugne, La Canourgue is crisscrossed with canals like a small Venice.
These canals have been developed since the Middle Ages to allow men to use the driving force of water

Situated on a low hill at the confluence of the Merderic and Urugne rivers, a fort, which became the Saint Etienne castle, was with the Saint Martin monastery, the embryo of the city: the square is still marked by the Clock Tower. You will be able to appreciate the old centre with its Renaissance houses and its porches, the place au Blé and its timber-framed house, the clock tower decorated with its astonishing weathervane, the remarkable Romanesque church, the Callongue with its old shops from the Middle Ages, the place du Pré Commun and its fountain of Griffou or the three mills still present which line the Urugne.

La Canourgue is a “lively, fluttery, dapper town” writes Solanet. Traduction automatique par DeepL via DATAtourisme
