The principal cities are Toulouse and Bordeaux. Between these two are major towns including:
Fumel: Named after Françoise de Fumel, once captain of the kings guard and Catherine de'Medici's ambassador to Constantinople, it has a good range of shops, supermarkets, restaurants and a cinema.
Villeneuve-sur-Lot: A powerful bastide on the banks of the Lot river. Founded in 1264 it has preserved a large quantity of small streets and half-timbered buildings. Close by is a superb 18 hole golf course.
Roquecor: A sleepy laid back hilltop village with an excellent bar/restaurant and Sunday morning market.
