Iconic town used in the 2022 Tour de France time trial.

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).

Shortly after Lacave, on the way to the Ouysse Gorges, you'll encounter some beautiful waterfalls. Surrounded by cliffs and meadows, this is the perfect place for a night's bivouac, lulled by the roar of the waterfalls.

The Saint-Sauveur chasm is reached by skirting the Cabouy chasm. This marvelous turquoise-colored body of water is a resurgence of the Ouysse River. The place is unreal.

The Cabouy chasm, located near Gramat, is a vast resurgence that marks the birth of the Ouysse. It is one of the most famous cave diving sites in the Lot: the submerged galleries extend for several kilometers and are only accessible to specialized divers. The site is easily accessible on foot, and even without diving, you can observe the impressive entrance to the chasm and the typical environment of the causse.

The Ouysse is a river that flows underground for most of its course. It reaches Lacave through the deep canyons carved along its path. As you follow its path towards Rocamadour, you'll find yourself caught between the cliffs that form its canyon. Old fortified mills mark the route, sometimes clinging to the rocks of the cliffs.

The Font del Truffe spring is hidden in the shade of the trees. It feeds a small, clear stream and also plunges underground. It's a well-known spot for cave divers, who explore its flooded galleries for several hundred meters.
