a considerable town of France, in Quercy in Guienne, with a bishop's see and an university. It is seated on a peninsula made by the river Lot, and built partly on a craggy rock. The principal street is very narrow; and terminates in the market-place, in which is the town-house. The cathedral is a Gothic structure, and has a large square steeple. The fortifications are regular, and the town is surrounded with thick walls. E. Long. 1. 6. N. Lat. 44. 26.
