'''Agen''' is a commune in the Lot-et-Garonne department in '''[[Aquitaine]]''' in southwestern '''[[France]]'''. It lies on the river Garonne 84 miles southeast of Bordeaux. It is the capital of the department. The town has a higher level of unemployment than the national average. Major employers include UPSA, the pharmaceutical factory.

=='''HISTORY OF AGEN'''==

Agen's history dates back to the 4th century, but unfortunately nothing is left of the town of that period except for a few statues, mosaics which are now part of the exhibition in Town's Museum. By 11th century Agen has been reduced to a cluster of fortified islands as a result of numerous invasions by Germanic, Norse and Arab tribes.

In 1032 Agen became a part of the State of Aquantine. In 1137 the Duchess of Aquitaine became a Queen of France and then in 1152 she became a Queen of England. During the next 300 years the city of Agen was controlled either by the Duke of Aquitaine (who was also a King of England) and the King of France. Finally after the Hundred Years War has ended, Agen was definitively annexed by France in 1453.
