Introducing the Lot Valley, France
The Lot Valley is one of France's best kept secrets. From the beautiful town of Villeneuve-sur-Lot in the west, Cahors and Saint-Cirq Lapopie in the centre, to Mende in the east, this spectacular, ancient region is a wonderful place for a holiday.
This Green Traveller Guide to the Lot Valley will show you how to make the most of a trip to the region. We have done the hard work for you - we have selected the best places to stay, from locally run hotels to self-catering apartments, and the best places to eat, from cafes to quality restaurants and village markets where you can buy fresh, local ingredients. We also feature a range of activities, from visiting hot-water pools to guided hikes and canoeing along the eponymous river.

Dramatic 2,000 Year Old Cahors, France
Cahors has an ultra-dramatic location, contained on three sides within a U-shaped bend in the River Lot. It is the chief city of the Lot and was founded 2,000 years ago by the Romans.
Today Cahors is perhaps best known as a famous wine center. Wander around the narrow streets in the old section with medieval houses, Baroque doorways, and Secret Gardens then sit down in a cafe or along the Lot River to watch the world go by.
Cahors Southwest France
Cahors is located about 1 1/2 hours north of Toulouse France by train. It is wedged inside a small peninsula in a loop in the River Lot. The 14thC Pont Valentre, a UNESCO heritage site and fortified bridge is the major attraction for visitors. However, there is so much more to see. Stroll the medieval streets and visit the many artisan shops. See the famous cap of Christ at Saint-Etienne Cathedral or just enjoy your surroundings while sipping on the Internationally famous Cahors wine with some appetizers using the local cheeses, foie gras and truffles.
