A true masterpiece of medieval times. The village is perched on a cliff overlooking one of the meanders of the Lot. Very visited, it deserves its classification among the most beautiful villages in France.

The picturesque town of Saint-Cirq-Lapopie sits atop steep rock cliffs on the River Lot. With its narrow streets lined with centuries-old houses, the ruins of a castle and a medieval church and its spectacular location, it forms a kind of open-air museum where new gems can be discovered on every street corner. But beware, it is also one of the most visited spots in the Lot, so choose your moment well. The best time to visit is early in the day, or in the low season.
