Chansarel

Chansarel is a commune in the Lot-et-Garonne department in southwestern France. It is situated in the Aquitaine region, approximately 25 kilometers northwest of the city of Agen.

The commune has a land area of 12.43 square kilometers, with a population of around 220 inhabitants, as recorded at the 2018 census. The elevation of the area ranges from a minimum of 90 meters to a maximum of 171 meters above sea level.

Chansarel lies within the Garonne river's watershed, surrounded by agricultural land, and is part of the Agenais region. Historically, the area was a rural commune but has since integrated with neighboring towns to form a larger unified area for administrative purposes.

On the 20th of March, 1912, an event occurred, known as 'Le démembrement', where the commune, Chansarel, was separated into three other communes which were previously known as parishes in the area. This change effectively ended the Priorat of Chansarel's authority over the surrounding region.

As with many French communes, Chansarel's income primarily comes from the activities of its farmers and inhabitants involved in the area's agricultural practices. Chansarel does not appear on many lists of popular tourist destinations, and is largely a local settlement that reflects the diverse history and geographical characteristics found in varied parts of France.
