Albas suspension bridge
Highlight • Other
Albas la Jolie, mostly built on a cliff above the Lot, one of the most beautiful “spots” in the Lot valley.
Albas was once a port from which the great wines of Cahors left to reach the city of Bordeaux by barge.
The famous Cahors vineyard is just across the suspension bridge.
Started in December 1932, it was in November 1933 that this work was inaugurated.
Thus, the dream of an entire locality, cherished for fifty years, thus became reality.
It was finally possible to cross the Lot, at any time and in safety, something unthinkable decades before.
The mayor at the time, Mr. Dulac, could present to his constituents an achievement that satisfied the entire population.
It must be recognized that the technical means of the time were far from those we know today
The newspapers on this occasion spoke of “an elegant bridge and a manifestly proven solidity.
the footbridge will forever remain the link between the two banks of the Lot.

Albas Village and View of the Lot River
Highlight • Settlement
The historic heart of the village has developed on a cliff overlooking a loop of the river, on the left bank of the Lot and its history is linked to this strategic situation.
A first castle was built at the beginning of the second millennium, which becomes more residential from the thirteenth century, when the bishops of Cahors make it one of their homes.
Port popular with boaters, Albas becomes one of the capitals of the vineyard of the Cahors appellation in the twentieth century. It also produces truffles. The charm of the small town rich in views of the valley, like its craftsmen, also makes it a popular stopover for tourists.
Albas, through its heritage as well as its unique environment, certainly deserves a stop for anyone staying in Quercy .
