In Aquitaine’s Lot-et-Garonne Department, Agen is a conventional town that doesn’t concern itself much with tourism.
But that isn’t to say there’s nothing to see or do. The Fine Arts Museum is a game for anyone in the area, and the Canal de Garonne promises to ride a bike or take a boat along a lush valley next to the gardens and with the tall wooden hills that make up. background. And if you’re visiting with the family you won’t run out of places to go, with a theme park, tree-climbing center, caves and a child-friendly Roman site all effortlessly close. Discover the best things to do in Agen.
[toc]
1. Musée des Beaux-Arts
Agen’s fine arts museum has an uplifting painting in a complex of four historic mansions from the 1500s and 1600s. Geeks in history will get goosebumps in archeology, where you can earn over 1,600 items from Lebanon and Syria, among coins, statues, and children. Crusade.
Art galleries are particularly rich for a provincial museum, hanging works by Goya, Tintoretto, Camille Corot, and Alfred Sisley to name a few. But the splendid houses containing these exhibits will also capture your imagination with spiral staircases, spacious fireplaces, patios and furniture in 26 rooms.
2. Agen Cathedral
This 12th-century Romanesque and Gothic church became Agen’s cathedral in 1801 after the former Cathedral of Saint-Étienne had been destroyed in the Revolution. In 1998 it became a UNESCO World Heritage Site because of its location on the ancient Way of St James pilgrimage route.
The oldest portion is the apse, which goes back to the church’s origins in the 1100s. On the ceiling here are paintings of the apostles, missionaries and ancient kings of Israel and Judah.
Take a peek at the Stolz organ, which was installed in 1858 and is the largest organ in the department. The rumor is that Empress Eugénie donated it to the cathedral.
3. Boulevard Piéton
Agen slopes four boulevards once famous for traffic, especially on Saturday afternoons. But mirroring public works that have improved many French cities, a large tranche of the east-west Boulevard de la République was pedestrianized in 2011. This artery had originally been plotted when Agen was modernized in the 19th century.
Now known as Piéton Boulevard, the Pedestrian Boulevard, it was the most livable street in the city and the first port for any shopping trip in Agen. When the mercury rises in summer there are fountains and foggers to cool the air.
4. Agen Aqueduct
Crossing the Garonne is a startling feat of 19th-century engineering. The Agen Aqueduct Canal Canal des Deux Mers crosses the river and when it was completed in 1849, it was the longest channel in the country, at a height of more than half a kilometer.
The structure is composed of white Quercy limestone and has 23 arches, each 20 meters across. Also groundbreaking for its timing is the width of the canal, at an elevation of eight meters that can allow the two ships to travel in different directions.
5. Walibi Sud-Ouest
The premier theme park in the region caters to the youngest members of the family up to around the age of 13. The park is located in a 30-hectare parkland surrounding a real 18th-century castle, now a tender backdrop for one of the park's six restaurants.
Older children will go straight to Boomerang, the fastest roller coaster Park park at a speed of 90km / h. You can have five main rides to choose from, and while all this entices the crowds in the middle of summer, you can cut the queue by paying a little extra for the “Fast Pass”.
6. SU Agen
The town's rugby team is an Agen organization, and appears among the two leading French professional divisions: They are too good for Pro D2 but still cannot stay in the Top 14 for more than a final season for several years.
SU Agen has a big history though, having won the title eight times and given a start to a long line of world-class players like the current French international scrum-half Maxime Machenaud and full-back Brice Dulin. The matches are played at the Stade Armandie 14,000 capacity at about every two weeks.
7. Église Notre-Dame de Moirax
A few minutes south of Agen and you will reach the village of Moirax, home to an incredible Roman church, once part of Cluniac Monastery. One of the most remarkable things about the site is that you’ll have it all to yourself.
There, there is nothing like the perfect recluse to wonder about the architecture of the 11th century that has hardly been touched since it was built, for the sympathetic restoration of the years. 1800.
If you’re clued up on bible stories you can interpret the thousand-year-old sculpted capitals, conveying the Temptation, St Michael slaying the dragon as well as general motifs like cats, birds, and foliage.
8. Villascopia
An archeological site with a spiral, Villascopia at Castelculier is an attraction on the ruins of a 4th-century Gallo-Roman house. But instead of presenting dusty platforms, the ruins are presented in 3D with tricks borrowed from theater and film businesses.
You will be immersed in the grandeur of a Roman spa, on a tour that takes you from the bathroom through frigidarium, tepidarium, and caldarium accompanied by the sounds and some sounds and smells that you have experienced.
And for the extra depth, you can browse all the intriguing objects dug up at Castelculier, like mosaics, sculptures, and ceramics.
9. Parc Naturel de Passeligne
Where Agen residents come to charge their batteries, the 60-hectare Nat Natelel de Passeligne amusement park is in the southern part of the city. There are two large lakes in the park: Passeligne and Pélissier, where there are large reserves of carp, perch and black sea bass for fishermen.
Young people can burn off the excess energy in three large playgrounds, each for a different age group and are carefully planned to help develop motor skills. Older children wanted to miss Chambre de Verdure, where there was a hilarious extension cord.
10. Les Montreur d’Images
If you’re a cinephile and have spent time in France you’ll know the value of a cinema that shows movies in their original language with French subtitles, instead of dubbing straight into French audio.
They are mostly independent theaters like this, which manage a top-notch show of French and foreign films, from new titles to classics by people like Wim Wender, Kurosawa, and Nicolas Winding Refn. The location is extremely stylish to boot, with a cafe and two luxurious auditoriums.
It’s a great option if you’re out on a limb in Agen.

Exclusive photos: Ranking ‘The Voice’ Season 13's top 20
The Voice Season 13’s top 20 semifinalists were revealed this Tuesday, and Reality Rocks has their exclusive cast photos… and, of course, some opinions as well. Check out this definitive ranking of the contestants, so you can make an informed vote next week!
Tumblr media
Chloe Kohanski (Team Blake)
Chloe is this year’s Jeffery Austin: a sleeper contestant absolutely no one saw coming (who was even montaged in the Battles), until she showed up at the Knockout Rounds in a snazzy suit and slayyyyed. Her gorgeous, goosebump-inducing Knockout cover of Fleetwood Mac’s “Landside” was the standout performance of Season 13 — and the season’s highest iTunes charter so far, peaking at No. 12. Shockingly, Chloe’s doppelganger and original coach, Miley Cyrus, gave her up, but Miley’s loss is definitely Blake Shelton’s gain. Blake could pull off a six-peat win with this exquisite young songstress. (Photo: NBC)

Davon Fleming (Team J.Hud)
Jennifer Hudson will probably land an endorsement deal with Zappos before Season 13 is over — because as long as she has fellow Whitney Houston fan Davon (and his nearly Whitney-level vocals) on her side, she’s sure to be throwing designer shoes left and right. This charismatic entertainer is a force to be reckoned with, the real deal, and the total package. Jennifer, a former Voice U.K. coach, may soon be bragging about winning The Voice on both sides of the pond. (Photo: NBC)

Tumblr media
Addison Agen (Team Adam)
While there is a risk that Addison and Chloe, both indie-leaning songbirds, will cancel each other out in the Playoffs, I feel there is room for both in the Season 13 finale. With a natural “melody in her voice” (according to J.Hud, in one of the most astute comments of the season), Addison has also experienced early iTunes success, with her “Beneath Your Beautiful” hitting No. 38 and her Battle Rounds duet of “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun” going to No. 36. Interestingly, Addison is another Team Miley castoff; Miley apparently came in like a wrecking ball and wrecked her chances of winning this season, by getting rid of two of her star players!

Tumblr media
Noah Mac (Team J.Hud)
He’s got Harry Styles hair — and Harry Styles charisma. But did Harry Styles ever make Kelly Clarkson cry? Becaus that’s just what Noah did with his soulful Knockout performance of James Bay’s “Hold Back the River.” I’ll be crying a river myself if this talented kid doesn’t at least make it to the top six. (Photo: NBC)

Tumblr media
Janice Freeman (Team J.Hud)
A rock ‘n’ soul powerhouse channeling Mary J. Blige and Tina Turner, a cancer survior, and a mother, Janice is a true fighter. She pours every ounce of her pain and passion into go-for-broken, gauntlet-throwing performances like “I’m Goin’ Down” and “Radioactive,” and it’s always good TV. I would love to see Janice differentiate herself in the Playoffs with more leftfield alt-rock choices, a la her Imagine Dragons cover; if she does that, there’s no way she’s goin’ down any time soon. (Photo: NBC)

Tumblr media
Moriah Formica (Team Miley)
Moriah is, as Blake might say, BAD. ASS. And she’s as tough as her surname implies. A guitar-slinging 16-year-old raised on ’80s hair metal (she even once guested on a solo album by Stryper singer Michael Sweet!), Moriah nailed every note of Heart’s “Crazy on You” in her Blind Audition. Granted, she sounded a lot like Heart’s Ann Wilson, but in her Knockout performance, she started to find her own voice with a fierce take on a contemporary Kelly Clarkson classic. (Photo: NBC)

Tumblr media
Chris Weaver (Team J.Hud)
Chris is a worship leader by day and a drag queen (Nedra Belle, the drag daughter of RuPaul’s Drag Race veteran Sasha Belle) by night. Can I get an amen, literally? With a pedigree like that, Chris makes for good TV, but he also has vocal chops — no lip-syncing for this guy! However, with dual backgrounds in church and NYC drag clubs, Chris’s performance style is, shall we say, far from subtle. He’ll have to work on his oversinging tendencies, which could alienate viewers — otherwise he might sashay away from the competition way too soon. (Photo: NBC)

Tumblr media
Brooke Simpson (Team Miley)
During a mentoring session, Kelly Clarkson said, “Not only does Brooke have what it takes to be in the industry, I think the industry needs people like her. She’s so lovable on top of being an amazing vocalist.” High praise from one America’s sweetheart to another! Brooke might fade into the background as she goes up against some of this season’s flashier personalities, but like Kelly on American Idol Season 1, she has chops and charm. Don’t underestmate her.

Tumblr media
Ashland Craft (Team Miley)
Miley is determined to win with a country contestant this season, which would bring her career’s Joanne-reminiscent, return-to-roots story arc to its logical conclusion. With fellow sassy rebel girl Ashland, Miley may get her wish. Ashland has enough Gretchen Wilsonesque sass to please diehard country fans, plus the rock ‘n’ roll edge (note her Skynyrd-style cover of Bon Jovi’s road-weary “Wanted Dead or Alive”) to cross over. I’m interested to see if she can pull off a ballad, however — at some point, America will yearn to connect with kinder, gentler Ashland underneath all that leather. (Photo: NBC)

Tumblr media
Keisha Renee (Team Blake)
The onetime Adam Lambert/Nicki Minaj backup singer-turned-country contender occupies a lane all her own, and she’s certainly interesting and unique. But will country fans, and Blake Shelton fans, embrace her? I’m concerned they’ll cast their votes for the more traditional, conservative country contestants… like Adam Cunningham. (Photo: NBC)
Source: Yahoo Music
Tumblr media
Adam Pearce (Team Miley)
Adam has a fantastic, ferocious rock voice, but the Led Zep cover band frontman has some corny onstage habits he needs to kick — like his tendecy to prowl the stage in endless, nervous circles, not to mention all that excessive hairography. However, every Voice season needs a longhaired rocker dude, and Adam P. is the only longhaired rocker dude of Season 13. I think if Miley, a rock chick herself with impeccable taste, gives him some newer tunes that prove he’s more than just a Foreigner/Deep Purple karaoke type, he could stick around a while. (Photo: NBC)

Tumblr media
Hannah Mrozak (Team J.Hud)
Hannah is a classic Clarkson-style pop/soul balladeer, and though she has faded into the background for much of this season, her Knockout Rounds performance of Rihanna’s “Love on the Brain,” which resulted in the final dramatic Steal of Season 13, established her as a strong contender — and Brooke Simpson’s stiffest competition this season. (Photo: NBC)

Tumblr media
Adam Cunningham (Team Adam)
Like Miley, Adam Levine is determined to win with a country contestant (and rub it in his longtime rival Blake’s face, of course). Adam almost achieved this goal in Season 11, when his bro-country contender Josh Gallagher placed fourth and country-crossover pop singer Billy Gilman was runner-up, but maybe his dastardly dream will come true with this guy. While Adam the C’s earlier performances were generic meat-‘n’-potatoes country, his gruff Lee Ann Womack/Chris Stapleton remake in the Knockouts was a revelation. If Adam the L continues to push Adam the C down that singer-songwriter lane, that lane just might lead to the finale. (Making the victory even more sweet would be the fact that Cunningham was originally a member of Team Blake.) Song choice will be key here. (Photo: NBC)

Tumblr media
Shi’Ann Jones (Team J.Hud)
Shi’Ann, at age 15, is the youngest semifinalist in the top 20 — a fun fact that will surely be trotted out at every opportunity this season. (“I CAN’T BELIEVE YOU ARE ONLY 15!!!”) Obviously Shi’Ann’s inexperience may hinder her, and the novelty of her youth will only get her so far; from this point onward, she must be graded on the same curve as everyone else, even 40-year-olds Red Marlow and Esera Tuaolo. But Jennifer Hudson sees a younger mini-me version of herself in Shi’Ann, and is therefore likely to give this girl special guidance — so Shi’Ann could be this year’s Wé McDonald or Jacqui Lee.

Tumblr media
Emily Luther (Team Adam)
There’s no doubt that this theater-trained, Berklee-schooled jazz chanteuse is one of Season 13’s most techincally skilled vocalists. But even her own coach Adam said she’s “almost too perfect.” She lacks charisma and doesn’t pop onscreen like some of her opponents, and she seems much older than her 24 years. It’s easy to see why her former YouTube duet partner Charlie Puth’s career soared, while hers has stalled. I think Emily could have a bright future on Broadway, but sadly, I don’t know how far she can go on this show. (Photo: NBC)

Tumblr media
Red Marlow (Team Blake)
This dyed-in-the-flannel everyman could not be more obvious Team Blake material if he’d showed up wearing an “Ol’ Red”-era mullet and drinking a Starbucks cup filled with whiskey. A “country as cornbread” (or “country as a wheelbarrow full of turnip greens”) dude who rattles off one-liners like “I’m as excited as a fat kid at a candy store,” he sure has a big, made-for-TV personality, and Middle America will love the lug. Until this week, I’ve found his performances to be typical weeknight bar-band fare andand corny as cornbread, so I’d rather Middle America’s country votes go to Ashland Craft or Adam Cunningham — but Red’s “Outskirts of Heaven” Knockout performance proved that he has a softer side and doesn’t always have to be the Season 13 class clown. (Photo: NBC)

Tumblr media
Mitchell Lee (Team Blake)
Mitchell has the cougar-baiting, hunky good looks to make America’s housewives swoon, and with his excellent pitch, he’s easy on the ears as well as the eyes. He’s already shaping up to be the Barrett Baber of Season 13. However, there’s a Ken-doll slickness, forced smiley-ness, and smugness to his performances that I find offputting, and he plays it safe with his song choices. I’d love to see more grit and gravitas from Mitchell, so he can become the Brendan Fletcher of Season 13 instead. (Photo: NBC)

Tumblr media
Anthony Alexander (Team Adam)
Young Anthony has teen-heartthrob appeal and tons of potential, but even his coach Adam admits that he’s “not fully cooked yet.” With only four weeks of Playoffs, will Anthony have the time to “cook” and catch up with his more, um, seasoned opponents? I am not so sure. Anthony has talent, but he may have been better off waiting to try out for Season 14. (Photo: NBC)
Source: Yahoo Music
Tumblr media
Jon Mero (Team Adam)
Jon’s confidence can sometimes come across as cockiness, and the professional corporate gig singer’s performances (“Blame It on the Boogie”? really??) don’t feel modern or relevant. It doesn’t bode well for his chances that his Knockout Round performance was montaged — a rarity on this series — and not even uploaded by NBC to YouTube. (Photo: NBC)
Source: Yahoo Music
Tumblr media
Esera Tuaolo (Team Blake)
As an openly gay former NFL player, Esera has by far this season’s most fascinating (and timely) backstory. Does he have the pipes to back that up, though? I sense that he’s made it this far mainly because he makes for compelling television. It’s unlikely that there’s a Voice touchdown in his future. (Photo: NBC)
