Montréal: Holiday Apartments and Houses

The bastide of Montréal was founded in March 1255 on the orders of Alphonse of Poitiers, Count of Toulouse.

Culture and History

At the heart of the bastide stands the Collegiate Church of Saint-Philippe and Saint-Jacques. It dates from the early 14th century.

The Collegiate Church of Saint-Philippe and Saint-Jacques features three naves, a bell tower and fortified elements.

The ruins of Saint-Pierre de Genens are the remains of a Romanesque church from the 12th century and have been fully protected as a Monument historique since 1979.

The Gallo-Roman villa of Séviac in Montréal-du-Gers is open to the public.

Wanting to rent a holiday apartment in Montréal is a separate part of planning the trip.
