Couthures-sur-Garonne

Couthures-sur-Garonne is a small commune in Lot-et-Garonne situated on the banks of the Garonne. The land spans about 7 square kilometers with a gently sloping terrain that varies between 12 and 22 meters in elevation.

The commune was formed as part of the region's administrative framework and now belongs to the Val de Garonne Agglomeration. It has maintained its small-scale local governance structure while adapting to modern times.

The village takes its name from its position on the Garonne and is home to people known as Couthurains and Couthuraines. They gather regularly at the town hall on rue de la Poste, where community life happens.

The town hall is open Tuesday to Friday from 1:30 to 6:00 PM, with Saturday morning hours from 8:00 to 10:00 AM. You will find the main administrative building at 30 rue de la Poste in the center of the village.

The location stands out for its barely noticeable slope, with elevation changing only about 10 meters (33 feet) across the entire area. This unusual flatness makes it one of the most level spots along the river.
