Cahors

Highlight • Settlement

Cahors, a city of art and history, is built on a loop of the Lot Valley. Not to be missed: the sublime Valentré bridge, a UNESCO world heritage site, the heart of the city and its 26 secret gardens and the market, at the foot of the Cathedral, which is held every Wednesday and Saturday morning.

Saint-Cirq-Lapopie

Highlight • Settlement

A true masterpiece of medieval times. The village is perched on a cliff overlooking one of the meanders of the Lot. Very visited, it deserves its classification among the most beautiful villages in France.

Valentré Bridge

Highlight • Monument

The Valentré bridge is one of the emblematic monuments of the city of Cahors. Unique in its kind, it is impressive.

This defensive bridge was built from 1308 by order of the consuls of the city. Its impeccable condition is due to its restoration in the 1880s.

By paying attention to the different sculptures, you may notice a frightened devil. The bridge is indeed nicknamed the Devil's Bridge: the architect responsible for the restoration at the beginning of the 19th century, Paul Gout, had this legend immortalized by a sculpted stone. It depicts the devil trying to pull the stone from the bridge without succeeding.
