The Lot Valley
But well beyond the village of Saint Cirq Lapopie, the immediate environment offers visitors surprising and magnificent discoveries.
At the foot of the village of Saint Cirq Lapopie along the Lot valley meanders the magnificent towpath of Bouziès, dug in the rock, along which you can walk on foot or by boat.
In the meanders of the Lot valley is also the castle of Cenevieres whose visit immerses the visitor in the history of the renaissance to the present day. Further downhill in a loop of the Lot you can explore the city of Cahors and the famous Valentré bridge.
You are halfway between Cahors and Figeac cities of art and history which offers both an attractive architectural heritage. For Cahors the visit of the old town, its inescapable Valentré bridge and the point of view from the Mont Saint Cyr are essential.
The vineyard of Cahors (black wine) extends to the west of the city and you enjoy along the river the different castles that compose it.
Figeac transports you through its museum Champollion in ancient Egypt. While these medieval alleys reveal to you a lot of picturesque architectural details.
