Firmly planted in the fertile plain of the Garonne river, the town is famous for its marvellous tomatoes. There's even a Tomato Festival here in July each year.

Like so many of the towns in this area it see-sawed between English and French ownership through the middle ages. Look out for the enormous mural of Richard the Lionheart that overlooks the country park; he took over the town in 1195 or so.
