Three gems just a short drive away
The Lot region is a land of contrasts — white cliffs, lush valleys, ancient villages, and fascinating heritage. Within half an hour of our guesthouse, you can explore three of the most iconic destinations: Cahors, a historical city of art, Saint-Cirq-Lapopie, a breathtaking medieval village, and the Pech Merle cave, a rare window into prehistoric art.
Cahors: heritage, vineyards, and medieval wonders
The legendary Valentré Bridge
Listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Valentré Bridge is a marvel of medieval military architecture. With its towers and its “devil’s legend,” it fascinates all who cross it.
Historic center and gourmet markets
Stroll through cobbled lanes, marvel at timber-framed houses, and visit the impressive Saint-Étienne Cathedral. The lively Cahors market (Wednesdays and Saturdays) offers a taste of local treasures like Cahors wine, foie gras, and Quercy cheeses.A homemade cuisine inspired by the Lot’s terroir
Saint-Cirq-Lapopie: the perched jewel of the Quercy
One of France’s most beautiful villages
Clinging to a cliff above the Lot River, Saint-Cirq-Lapopie is an architectural masterpiece with preserved medieval charm. Artists, craftsmen, and stunning views make it a dreamlike destination.
An atmosphere suspended in time
This village inspired André Breton, and continues to enchant lovers of art, poetry, and heritage. Every street invites you to stroll and soak in the ambiance.
Pech Merle cave: living prehistoric art
A journey back 29,000 years
Located in Cabrerets, Pech Merle cave is one of the few prehistoric sites open to the public that still displays authentic cave paintings. Spotted horses, mammoths, human figures — an unforgettable experience.
A sustainable approach to preservation
Visits are limited and guided to protect this fragile heritage, in the spirit of sustainable cultural tourism.
