• Cahors: Europe’s last fortified bridge (13th century), a huge-domed cathedral, lots of well-restored and narrow medieval streets.
• The Cahors vineyards: one of the oldest wine-producing areas in France, with fine cuisine
to match to.
• Boating on the river Lot: a long stretch of the meandering Lot waters are navigable, a
memorable journey between steep cliffs, often crowned by castles and medieval villages.
• Rocamadour: 2nd most visited tourist site in France (after Mont St Michel), a medieval
pilgrimage centre seemingly carved out of the sheer rock face.
• Gouffre de Padirac: the deepest cave in Europe, naturally formed by the collapse of a vast
cave’s roof.
• St Cirq La Popie: another cliff-top village, reckoned to be the prettiest in France.
