Hiking
By following the route of the Way of Saint-Jacques, the pilgrim sees Cahors for the first time from Mont Saint-Cyr. From this hill, we can also very well see that the city is located in a large bend of the Lot and that it was thus protected in ancient times. Cahors is a city founded in Celtic times. The city worked with wool from sheep raised all over the Quercy. In Roman times, Cahors was called "Cadurcum". At that time, they made military socks and blankets for the Roman legionaries.
