Pujols, Lot-et-Garonne

Pujols (French pronunciation: [pyʒɔl]; Occitan: Pujòls) is a commune in the Lot-et-Garonne department in south-western France.

This once fortified town lies within the municipal community of Greater Villeneuve and overlooks the Lot valley and the city of Villeneuve-sur-Lot.

The town of Pujols was built on an outcrop atop a steep incline, overlooking the Lot and Masse river valleys.

In 1525, Jean de Pujols and his wife established a chapter of cannons, and built Saint Nicholas Church on the northern side of the town.

Located in the countryside, Pujols is a calm and peaceful town, yet it is nonetheless a vibrant and pleasant place to live, with many cultural and athletic activities.

Pujols runs a municipal daycare center known as the “3 P'tits Tours” (3 Li'l Towers), which welcomes children from two and a half months to four years old.
