Fauillet Outskirts

Location: Lot & Garonne. D101 on edge of Fauillet village, leading to N113 (Marmande < > Tonneins). The route through the village leads to Gontaud-de-Norgaret.

D101 Fauillet / Varès

Location: Lot & Garonne. The D120 north out of Tonneins to Varès intersects with the D101 from Fauillet to Grateloup.



The "shed" in the middle of the roundabout is a miniture representation of a séchoir or tobacco drying barn. Tonneins used to be the heart of the tobacco industry in France. You can still see séchoirs throughout the area. The slats open and close to allow ventilation around the tobacco which hangs in great fronds from the ceiling.

Notice the beautiful topiary of the hedges.
