Figeac, designated a City of Art and History, lies in the heart of the Célé Valley, on whose banks it is built. Its charming medieval streets and half-timbered houses are part of its appeal. Sights include the Champollion Museum – Writings of the World and the market, held on Saturdays.

Be sure to plan a full day for Figeac, with its charming half-timbered houses. The Champollion Museum – Les Ecritures du Monde is well worth a visit. It is dedicated to the French explorer who was the first to decipher Egyptian hieroglyphs.
