Les Grottes Hotel & Restaurant

Very, very nice terrace by the river. Fine food for every budget and a delicious regional beer on tap. I'll try the wines next time. The stopover was really worth it, a real recommendation.

Pech Merle cave

Highlight • Gorge

The Pech Merle cave is one of the most beautiful decorated caves that can be visited without restriction due to its gigantic dimensions. It features wonderful paintings dating back over 20,000 years. She is known for these famous punctuated horses. An artist like Picasso would have been inspired by it.

Cabrerets

Highlight • Settlement

This village nestled in the Rochechourbe cliff is well worth a visit. At the confluence of the Sagne Valley and the Célé Valley, it is also just a few kilometers from Saint-Cirq-Lapopie. Perched on the cliff, you can see numerous troglodyte houses as well as the ruins of the Château des Anglais, also known as the Devil's Castle.

A second castle sits on a promontory overlooking the river. Built in the 15th century, this castle is magnificently preserved. It is not open to the public except during Heritage Days.

Church and Abbey of Marcilhac

Highlight • Other

Saint-Pierre de Marcilhac Abbey was built at the beginning of the 9th century by Benedictines from Moissac, fleeing the Normans. Pépin, king of Aquitaine, took it under his protection in 845 or 848. In the 10th century the abbey was independent.

In the 12th century, it was very powerful and had more than a hundred priories, including the church of Rocamadour donated in 1030 by Déodat or Dieudonné, bishop of Cahors.
After many destructions, the abbey has lost its luster, to be today only the shadow of itself. Much of the building is no more than ruins, but by visiting it you will be able to realize its past grandeur. The church adjoining the abbey is on the other hand well renovated.

Marcilhac-sur-Célé

Highlight • Other

Marcilhac-sur-Célé is on the way to Santiago de Compostela (variant 651 of the GR65).

Organized around its abbey whose Romanesque church has preserved an austere beauty, this village exudes tranquility and bathes in the freshness of the banks of the Célé.

It seems very tiny next to these large limestone cliffs!
