Guide Cahors & Lot Holiday rental Gay

The Lot lies right next door to the Dordogne, in fact some of the most beautiful parts of Dordogne river, form Bort-les-Orgues down to Beaulieu lie in the north of the Departement. Cutting a path south west, the river Lot itself plunges through a series of spectacular gorges between entraygues and Estaing before opening out into the broad meandering loops which carry it past the ancient and picturesque villages of Cajarc and St Cirq-Lapopie. In the south, beyond the administrative capital of Cahors, the river wanders through the vineyards which take the town's name.

The Dordogne Valley
The ravishing Dordogne Valley, bursting with natural wonders, never fails to enchant travellers. Now it's your turn to follow the Dordogne Valley, one of the most beautiful valleys in the Midi-Pyrenees region.

Cahors
Chief city of the Lot, Cahors lies in a meander of the river as it has for about 2000 years since the Romans founded it.

Figeac
Figeac, a "Town of Art and History", is more than worthy of this status, only awarded to places with an exceptionnally rich architectural/historical heritage.

Rocamadour
For nearly a thousand years, the narrow, lonely canyon of the Alzou has been home to a cluster of buildings clinging to the rock half way up the sheer cliffs.

St Cirq Lapopie
Some 35 km upstream of Cahors the village of St. Cirq Lapopie stands high above the Lot perched like a sentinel on an outcrop of rock.
