Encyclopedic overview
Pompignan ( French pronunciation: [pɔ̃piɲɑ̃]; Occitan: Pompinhan) is a commune in the Tarn-et-Garonne department in the Occitania region in Southern France.
The Château de Pompignan, a mid-18th century neoclassical building, sits on a terrace above the village. Its builder, Jean-Jacques Lefranc de Pompignan is renowned as an Enlightenment figure, and he created on the hillside rising up behind the chateau an extensive landscape garden with follies, which has remained largely untouched since the early 19th century.
