This gives you several different ways to plan your trip: architectural and art history, changing exhibitions, a riverside park, the Friday market and a cycling route.

Churches and History in Langon
The remains of Notre-Dame-du-Bourg Church are a stop on the “Circuit découverte de Langon” walking tour. The building dates from the 12th century; the church was later converted into a meeting place, an events venue and a cinema. Eight capitals from Notre-Dame-du-Bourg are on display at The Cloisters museum in New York.
Another historic landmark is Saint-Gervais Church. Construction began in the 13th century and was completed in 1847. The church houses Francisco de Zurbarán’s painting “The Immaculate Conception”; its furnishings also include a Cavaillé-Coll organ dating from 1857. The “Circuit découverte de Langon” walking tour starts at the Langon tourist information office.
