Once upon a time The Guard of the Viaur… this is how we could start the presentation of this citadel. In this fortress-village, many vestiges of its rich history and the whole of its architectural harmony have been preserved over the centuries.

 

With its defensive system, Lagarde Viaur, erected along the Romane road, plays since 1360, the role of border post with the English territory, with, within its battlements, an important garrison of soldiers.
