Auvillar, Medieval commune in Tarn-et-Garonne, France
The commune sits on a rocky outcrop above the Garonne River between Agen and Montauban, featuring a circular market hall and clock tower.
Founded as a Gallo-Roman city named Alta Villa, Auvillar became the capital of Count of Armagnac in the twelfth century before joining the French crown.
The Church of Saint Peter and the circular market hall represent the architectural heritage of this village, recognized among The Most Beautiful Villages of France.

In France, each region hides villages that seem out of time. These places are made of stone, wood, and light, where history is written on facades and in paved streets. Some are nestled in valleys, others cling to cliffs or overlook vineyards. There are old houses, squares lined with arcades, castles, Romanesque churches, and sometimes a river winding between gardens. These villages have retained the charm of their era, the slow pace of residents, and the sound of wind in shutters. From Breton granite to Alsatian half-timbered houses, from southern golden limestone to Alpine shingle roofs, each tells a way of life, a color, an accent. They form the deep face of the country, one that is only visible when taking the time to stop.
