In a word: breathtaking. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to these caves. The Padirac Gorge is without a doubt the most beautiful in France, and its dimensions are extraordinary. Another great feature is that the cave tour is narrated with an audio guide (in your own language). During the tour, a boatman will be waiting for you for a small boat trip through the caves. Plenty to admire: Giant limestone concretions, underground lakes, incredible serpentine sculptures, impressive stalactites and stalagmites. The only downside (as far as I'm concerned): it's very touristy. Tip: combine a visit to the caves with a visit to Racomadour (the city in the rocks).

Magnificent village in the Lot with a very beautiful abbey church! Fénelon lived there for several years.

Leaving Bretenoux, we pass through this shaded section, among the trees, before cycling through the surrounding fields.

A small village in the northern Lot region, Cornac is known for its colorful murals scattered throughout its narrow streets. Every summer, artists come to paint here, transforming the village into an open-air gallery.
