Le Mas d'Agenais, Aquitaine & Lot
Base Manager Christian Lassauniere welcomes you to Le Mas D'Agenais. An old Roman
town Le Mas D’Agenais is full of history.
Make a stop on the Saint- Jacques de Compostelle way where this area has played
a huge part in the historical change of the country.
The Mas d’Agenais was lost and gained several times during the crusades against
the Albigeois People, and was under English possession during the 100-year war.
It then became French again and Catholic, taken by Admiral Coligny. When the walls
were rebuilt, the Prince Army, during the Fronde, took it by storm.
