Eymet

The central square of Eymet features stone arcades and medieval houses along with a fountain that forms the heart of the community.

Founded in 1270 by Alphonse de Poitiers, brother of King Louis IX, Eymet developed as a bastide town with a systematic grid layout of streets.

The Thursday market tradition continues in the main square, where local producers sell regional specialties from Périgord and seasonal products.

Located 20 kilometers south of Bergerac and 100 kilometers east of Bordeaux, Eymet provides access to regional airports for international travelers.

The Maison du Bayle, former residence of the town governor, displays a hexagonal tower and carved doorway from the medieval period.
