Beaumont-de-Lomagne — A bastide of Gascony, near Montauban, where Fermat was born
A bastide of Lomagne, in Gascony, taken and sacked during the Wars of Religion. Fermat’s birthplace is identified there; the parish baptismal registers are missing from 1607 to 1611, and it is this gap that leaves the year of his birth open. (Editorial synthesis)
Beaumont-de-Lomagne is located in Tarn-et-Garonne. (source: INSEE, Code officiel géographique)
