Old Sauliac

Highlight • Settlement

The old village of Sauliac-sur-Célé. Superb troglodyte site above the river.

This village nestled in the Rochechourbe cliff is well worth a visit. At the confluence of the Sagne Valley and the Célé Valley, it is also just a few kilometers from Saint-Cirq-Lapopie. Perched on the cliff, you can see numerous troglodyte houses as well as the ruins of the Château des Anglais, also known as the Devil's Castle.

A second castle sits on a promontory overlooking the river. Built in the 15th century, this castle is magnificently preserved. It is not open to the public except during Heritage Days.

Pech Merle cave

Highlight • Gorge

The Pech Merle cave is one of the most beautiful decorated caves that can be visited without restriction due to its gigantic dimensions. It features wonderful paintings dating back over 20,000 years. She is known for these famous punctuated horses. An artist like Picasso would have been inspired by it.

The English Castle of Bouziès

Highlight • Castle

High on the road from Cahors to Saint-Cirq Lapopie, nestled in the cliffs, lies the English castle of Bouziès. You can see fortifications from the 11th and 12th centuries, anchored in the limestone rock. The Château des Anglais served as a refuge to protect the population in case of attack.

The interior is not open to visitors. View of the castle from the road or the metal bridge of Bouziès.

Bouzies

Highlight • Settlement

Bouziès is a small village with only 80 inhabitants. It is located at the confluence of the Lot and Célé valleys and in the heart of the Causses du Quercy Regional Natural Park. In Bouziès you can take a boat trip or rent a boat.

You can take a nice walk here along the Chémin de Halgage towpath, which was carved into the rock wall along the banks of the Lot. Le Château des Anglais is also definitely worth a visit. It is illuminated between Easter and All Saints' Day.

Ganil towpath

Highlight (Segment) • Other

Imagine a path carved into the cliff face, about a kilometer long. Dug between 1843 and 1847 to facilitate barge traffic on the Lot, the Ganil towpath is now accessible to all.

At this exact spot you take a path that runs along very beautiful cliffs overlooking the Lot River. It is both bucolic and majestic.

Simply brilliant tour today. We saved battery power until the entrance of the cave and moved the bikes by muscle power. According to the tour description, there was still a tremendous climb shortly before the end of the tour. It was tough, scree and stone slabs alternated. Then, when we arrived at the top, we crossed a high plateau, it …
