Villeneuve-sur-Lot: Aéroclub de Villeneuve sur Lot
Villeneuve-sur-Lot combines the formal grid of a medieval bastide with the open farmland of the Lot valley in a way that reflects its position on the River Lot. Founded in 1264 by Alphonse de Poitiers, the town developed as a planned settlement and still centres on Place Lafayette, its principal square. The Aéroclub de Villeneuve-sur-Lot is based at the local aerodrome beyond the built-up centre, where hangars, apron space and a broad airfield sit amid the cultivated lowlands of Lot-et-Garonne. This setting links a long-established market town with the practical aviation life of south-western France. The river and its bridges give the historic centre a compact character, while the surrounding plain leads into the wider landscapes of Nouvelle-Aquitaine.

Villeneuve-sur-Lot lies along the Lot River in the rolling orchards and farmland of Lot-et-Garonne, where the valley opens through southwestern France. Founded in 1264 as a royal bastide by Alphonse de Poitiers, the town still follows the ordered medieval plan that distinguished these planned settlements. Place Lafayette remains its civic centre, while the 13th-century Pont Vieux carries the historic route over the river. Arcaded streets, market traditions and the surrounding plum-growing country give Villeneuve-sur-Lot a character closely tied to the old Agenais province.
