The small village has a very special charm.

Unfortunately, not much water always runs down when it is drier.

In a word: breathtaking. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to these caves. The Padirac Gorge is without a doubt the most beautiful in France, and its dimensions are extraordinary. Another great feature is that the cave tour is narrated with an audio guide (in your own language). During the tour, a boatman will be waiting for you for a small boat trip through the caves. Plenty to admire: Giant limestone concretions, underground lakes, incredible serpentine sculptures, impressive stalactites and stalagmites. The only downside (as far as I'm concerned): it's very touristy. Tip: combine a visit to the caves with a visit to Racomadour (the city in the rocks).

Unfortunately there is no view directly from the road, only from the hiking trail.

Authentic village

Magnificent hike

Some of the windows in the nave contain stained glass from the 16th century. Today only fragments remain (restoration in the 1990s). One window shows a crucifixion scene, another Jean II de Castelnau (the father of the church's founder Jacques de Castelnau) in his robes with his protector, John the Baptist, and his wife Anne de Culant with Saint Anne.

The Château de Taillefer probably dates from the 13th century. Access to the castle was via a ramp carved into the rock. The castle consisted of a one-storey main building, which was probably framed by two narrow courtyards, one on the east side and one on the west side.
