In addition to everything that's been said, the road runs alongside magnificent cliffs, and you even pass under the rock several times – it's amazing!!

Two large domes dominate the Romanesque nave. They represent the most extraordinary example of the so-called "Aquitanian" architectural style: 16 meters in diameter and 32 meters high; only the Hagia Sophia in Istanbul has a taller dome. Also noteworthy is the small, golden church of Saint-Svair, with its large statue of Emperor Charlemagne, who presented it to the church of Cahors.

Worth seeing cathedral in Cahors.

One of the most popular photo motifs in the Lot Valley. It's incredible how this structure was built into the rock and is accessible!

This St. Etienne Cathedral impressed us deeply again! The building dates back to the 11th century and is very unique with its two domes. Only in Perigeux is there a cathedral with similar architecture. The special feature is the Saint Coiffe, a fabric relic in which the veil of Jesus from the tomb is venerated. In one dome you can see frescoes of saints, in the middle of St. Stephen, the first martyr of the Christians in Jerusalem. During our visit (September 2024), pictures by the late impressionist painter Henri Martin were projected onto the other gray dome. It is worth spending some time in the cathedral!

beautiful ride along the Lot river

Superb passage - A little damp if the Lot is large ;0)

Preceded upstream by the mill and the lock keeper's house, then by the lock, this towpath is dug into the limestone rock face. Its construction began in 1847, the men began to dig the rock using mine bars. This path made it easier for barges to pass through this difficult sector. At that time, these trading boats came up the river from Bordeaux, loaded with fish, manufactured products and salt. This site constitutes one of the most spectacular courses in the valley.
