Tourism in the Lot

The Lot department draws its character from the limestone plateaux carved out by the Lot, Dordogne and Célé valleys. It is dotted with great sites and is part of the Causses du Quercy Regional Nature Park.

Step into the renowned market town of Cajarc and be amazed by this remarkable site, set against a cirque of cliffs and a river. It owes its fame to Françoise Sagan, Georges Pompidou and Coluche...

A showcase for the diversity of art in the Lot, the MAGCP manages the contemporary art centre in Cajarc and puts on several exhibitions a year.

Voted one of France's "Favourite Villages", this medieval village is perched high above the River Lot and fits spectacularly into its cliff face.

The second-largest town in the Lot, Figeac is a city with an exceptional quality of life, rich in history and firmly rooted in the dynamism of today's world.

Situated at the centre of the triangle formed by Cahors, Albi and Rodez, Villefranche de Rouergue is classified as a "Grand site de Midi-Pyrénées".

Set against the majestic backdrop of the Lot valley, a visit to Cahors, a city of art and history, is a joy to explore.

"The houses on the stream, the churches on the houses, the rocks on the churches, the castle on the rocks", Rocamadour is a challenge to balance: not to be missed!

Situated in Aveyron in the heart of the Lot valley, Conques is a jewel of Romanesque art and a treasure trove of treasures. It deserves its place among the Most Beautiful Villages in France, on the Pilgrim's Way to Santiago de Compostela.

Ideally situated on the GR65, the pilgrims' route to Santiago de Compostela, the Cajarc Blue Hôtel is a favourite stopover for pilgrims looking for a truly relaxing break.
