Swimming in the Lot from the pretty beach of Castelfranc. Supervised during the summer. A stone's throw from the beach, the Jardins des Sens is worth a detour.

Cahors, a city of art and history, is built on a loop of the Lot Valley. Not to be missed: the sublime Valentré bridge, a UNESCO world heritage site, the heart of the city and its 26 secret gardens and the market, at the foot of the Cathedral, which is held every Wednesday and Saturday morning.

The Voie verte et véloroute de la Vallée du Lot (V86) is a large, secure cycle route that stretches for about 430 to 480 km, connecting La Canourgue in Lozère to Aiguillon in Lot-et-Garonne.

The route follows the meanders of the Lot river through varied landscapes of limestone cliffs, vineyards, orchards, and causses.

Luzech

Highlight • Historical Site

In the heart of the Cahors vineyard, this small town clings to both sides of a rocky isthmus.

On the plateau, we distinguish the oppidum of the Impernal, whose ruins are two thousand years old.
