Between the Garonne and the Lot, a B&B for sale in Lot-et-Garonne sits in a country of orchards, hillsides and bastide towns that many travellers cross on their way to the Atlantic or the Pyrenees, and where some decide to stay. Hilltop villages such as Monflanquin, Villeréal, Pujols and Penne-d'Agenais, the town of Nérac, the castle of Bonaguil and the Buzet and Duras vineyards bring visitors, while Agen prunes, Marmande tomatoes and farmers' markets feed a generous table d'hôtes. The cycle path along the Canal de Garonne also brings riders looking for a stopover.
Properties are mostly family homes and maisons de maître on large plots, some already fitted with several guest rooms and rental flats. This page is for buyers taking over a running guest house or starting one, and for owners getting ready to sell. Create an email alert (in French) for new listings in the department.

Lot-et-Garonne remains affordable: the 2025 median country house sold for €171,000, in line with Nouvelle-Aquitaine, on plots averaging 6,069 m². A guest house with several rooms usually sits above the top decile of €285,000 and is better compared with large period homes, where the department median is €537,200 over 101 sales, well below the regional figure. Tourist inland areas, led by the Lot valley and the bastides, rose 15.0% between 2021 and 2025, while the deep countryside barely moved.
The Haut-Agenais in the north-east is the most sought-after area: bastides, the Lot valley around Villeneuve-sur-Lot and Fumel, easy reach of the Dordogne and Quercy, and an established Northern European community. South of the Garonne, the Pays d'Albret around Nérac leads towards the Landes forest and Armagnac. The Pays de Serres offers hills and long views at moderate prices, and the Marmande and Duras area in the west suits wine tourism. The A62 follows the Garonne from Bordeaux to Toulouse, Agen has TGV trains, and guests fly into Agen, Bergerac, Bordeaux or Toulouse.
Stone maisons de maître, brick farmhouses under Roman tiles, tobacco-drying barns and dovecotes are full of character but need a close look at roofs, frames and joinery. Many hillsides sit on shrink-swell clay that can crack walls, and the Garonne and Lot valleys carry a flood risk. Large plots usually mean a private septic system, inspected by the local SPANC service. A chambres d'hôtes business is capped at 5 rooms and 15 guests at a time, breakfast included, and is declared at the mairie (town hall); a gîte next door follows the rules for meublés de tourisme (furnished holiday lets). See our guide to opening chambres d'hôtes (in French).
With €171,000 for a country house and €537,200 for a large period home, the department is one of the more affordable in south-west France for this kind of project. Most guest houses fall between the two, depending on rooms, condition and outbuildings. Check your numbers with our financing plan calculator (in French).
Combining rooms with a gîte or flats spreads income across different guests, but adds cleaning, welcome duties and separate tax rules. Test realistic off-season occupancy with our B&B profitability simulator (in French) and ask an accountant to review it.
Gather the town hall declaration, recent accounts and bookings, reviews, mandatory surveys and the septic inspection. The compromis de vente (preliminary contract) and the final deed are signed before a notaire, the public official who handles property sales. Then advertise your guest house with us.
