Figeac is a city with an exceptional heritage. Its city center is articulated around the old medieval abbey. Do not miss the Champollion museum. The discoverer of the Rosetta stone who managed to decipher the Egyptian hieroglyphs was born in Figeac and a museum is dedicated to him.

The banks of the Célé river which passes through Figeac are very pleasant and also quite photogenic.

Hiking

Figeac is a beautiful little town in the Lot department. It has an old, medieval, well-preserved town centre. It is interesting to visit the Commanderie des Templiers, which costs €5 and gives a good impression of what such houses originally looked like. On the Place de la Halle you can sit comfortably and have a drink.
