A true masterpiece of medieval times. The village is perched on a cliff overlooking one of the meanders of the Lot. Very visited, it deserves its classification among the most beautiful villages in France.

Nice little hike from Bouzies to St Cirq Lapopie on the old towpath. The path is carved into the rock. The town of St Cirq Lapopie is charming.

St Cirq-Lapopie is reached via the medieval towpath, some of which is spectacularly carved into the rock. The village with winding streets and a mighty church is situated on a panoramic rock above the Lot. A narrow forest path takes you back to Bouziès.
