As a fairly flat country, the department of Lot-et-Garonne is divided between two large valleys from which it takes its name: the wide valley of the Garonne crosses the department from the East to the West over 68 miles; the Lot from the North meets the Garonne almost at the heart of the department after a travel of 51 miles across a rather deep valley.
The area between the Garonne and the Lot is a country of narrow and long ridges, of small valleys full of freshness, of gentle slopes. From the Lot to the Dropt, a soft land of lakeside layers of sediment stretches out "a landscape made of slight undulations and numerous round hills endlessly losing themselves one behind the other like the lapping of a lake". |

| On the North-East, the landscape binds itself to the Causses of the Quercy and to the forests of pines and chesnut trees of the Périgord. The landes, the flat country, which is sandy and covered with forests of maritime pines, and the country of the Baïse with its groves of cork oaks and its vineyards are the main elements of the plateau on the South of the Garonne. |
