Hotels near Agen La Garenne Airport - AGF, Agen

Nice new hotel. Reception very helpful when we didn't have a kettle in our room. Very quiet and very comfortable an excellent breakfast in the morning. We used this the hotel on our way to our holiday.

We needed a journey-breaker and Agen fitted the bill within our travel plans. It also gave us the chance to see a new town. Agen iis a typcial older French "working" town with a pleasant historic centre with a good mis of shops, bars, restaurants and intersting buildings

Agen is a very pleasant and calm town. The local people are very friendly and helpful. The food has a real taste as there is so much fresh agricultural produce sold at affordable prices in the local shops. There is an Artisan Soap makers shop called Lou Karitan. The soap is handmade from scratch with the finest organic ingredients by Cecilia and Patrick. They have soap-making sessions where adults and children alike can observe the cold saponification they use to produce their beautiful gently scented or scent-free soaps. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. There is a fantastic swimming pool which is very affordable. Excellent swimming courses available in English for both children and adults are given by Jean Riomeaux in Agen Sud bassin.

A delightful departmental city with important rail connections, but minimal air ones. It contains many old and narrow streets now connected with the modern ones to facilitate movement and there are ample shopping possibilities, together with museums, art galleries, medical facilities, river and canals and other attractions. Adequate parking does seem to be available.

Agen is a lovely town with very friendly people. They live their rugby and we’re very welcoming. There is a beautiful cathedral but not a great deal more to see other than immersing yourself in the traditional French culture. Great little patisserie in the centre of town was perfect for breakfast

Agen is a bland town or city. However, having spent all night out on the streets the mild weather gives it a feeling less fear of dying. I spoke to people - I only saw males and I am a female. I was vulnerable but not under threat. A couple of people I spoke to in my very poor French with my native English and lots of body language, were lovely and approachable. However, there with storms in the night there were power cuts so it was very dark with no street lights. However, I was fobbed off by the propriator of the hotel in the rudest possible manner. I was refused entrance to my hotel because I was late (I had walked miles to get to it from the bus stop, I didn't know the area and the address is unmarked and down a small back street quite hidden. THis was not explained. Agen is a bit like Crew, it is a change point for trains to go anywhere but the town is a bit drab in itself.
