Larrazet, Administrative commune in Tarn-et-Garonne, France.
Larrazet is a commune in Tarn-et-Garonne featuring compact streets with old half-timbered dwellings set among agricultural fields. The village sits at approximately 81 meters elevation and covers a modest rural landscape.
The settlement was founded as a bastide and evolved into a fortified village with a defended church. During the French Wars of Religion, the Church of Sainte-Marie-Madeleine underwent modifications to serve as a refuge against attack.
The village keeps its bastide character through preserved defensive walls and half-timbered houses that shape the streets. These buildings reflect the medieval roots of the settlement.
The village can be explored comfortably on foot with straightforward access to the old streets and central buildings. Wear comfortable shoes, as the lanes are narrow and uneven in places.
The village church features an unusual hexagonal bell tower built in the 17th century. This distinctive tower was constructed with involvement of craftsmen from the nearby Belleperche Abbey.
