Eymet, the English bastide of Périgord and its unique heritage

Eymet occupies a special place in the panorama of Périgord's bastides. Unlike other bastides founded under Franco-English treaties, Eymet was established directly by English lords and has retained distinctly Anglo-Norman architectural and urban planning characteristics. This Anglo-French heritage creates a unique atmosphere in Southwest France.

The town itself, with approximately 2,500 inhabitants, has preserved a peaceful character of a small provincial city. Its central square, dotted with arcades characteristic of bastides, creates a harmonious public space where cafés, restaurants and small shops sit alongside vestiges of the past. The medieval château of Eymet, dating from the 13th-15th centuries, stands proudly at the heart of the city, recalling the strategic importance Eymet held in medieval times.

Périgord, a region of contrasts and riches, offers Eymet a strategic position. Between the productive agricultural lands of Périgord Blanc and the denser forests of Périgord Noir, Eymet benefits from prosperous agriculture and generous gastronomy. The relative proximity to Bordeaux (100 km) makes Eymet an easily accessible destination for weekends or short getaways.

What to do in Eymet?

Eymet offers a remarkable concentration of activities, attractions and discoveries, suited to all types of visitors.

The arcaded central square: historic heart

Eymet's central square, surrounded by houses with typically bastide-style arcades, constitutes the focal point of any visit. These arcades, built to offer covered galleries where producers and artisans could trade, today create a timeless atmosphere. Strolling under these arcades, stopping at a café terrace, observing the plays of light created by the stone columns... it's experiencing several centuries of history in just a few minutes.

The medieval château of Eymet

The château, though partially ruined, offers a fascinating window into medieval military architecture. The remaining towers, partial ramparts and foundations testify to the fortress's importance during the period of English domination. Archaeology and history enthusiasts will particularly appreciate the architectural details and defensive strategies they reveal.

Heritage guided tours

Regular guided tours of the bastide, led by passionate local historians, offer complete immersion in Eymet's Anglo-French history. The guides recount anecdotes of daily life in the Middle Ages, explain the urban strategy of bastides and illuminate Eymet's specificities compared to other fortified cities.

Excellent Périgord gastronomy

Eymet, though small, offers several quality restaurants serving traditional Périgord cuisine. Foie gras, duck confit, seasonal truffles, forest mushrooms, Périgord cherries... Eymet's tables reflect the region's agricultural generosity. Some restaurants, housed in character buildings, offer a culinary experience combined with heritage immersion.

Authentic local markets

Eymet hosts traditional markets several times a week, allowing discovery of seasonal fruits and vegetables, farm products and Périgord specialties. The Saturday morning market, particularly dynamic, offers a friendly and authentic atmosphere of Périgord life.

Contemporary English communities

Eymet has had a significant community of British residents for several decades. This contemporary Anglo-French presence creates a cosmopolitan and welcoming atmosphere, particularly for English-speaking visitors. Restaurants and shops reflect this cultural mix.
