Discovery the Lot Valley

The Lot valley has so much to offer.

Saint-Cirq-Lapopie

Saint-Cirq-Lapopie is designated as “one of the most beautiful villages in France”, perched on the cliffs overlooking the Lot it is a gorgeous medieval town.  It is a must for anybody that visits us here at the campsite.

Peche Merle

The caves are just 12 miles from the campsite and contain authentice prehistoric art, including the amazing Spotted Horse which is over 29,000 years old.

Cénevières Chateau

The chateau began as a medieval stronghold and was used to fight against the English in the 100 years war.  Today you can visit and take in the Renaissance architecture in the furnished rooms.

Martel Steam Train 

Take a stream train journey from Martel medieval village to St-Denis-Lés-Martel and back again.  Ride in open carriages through tunnels and over viaducts for a truly unique experience.

Cahors

Be sure to visit the old town and the 14th century bridge in search of the “little devil” and Saint-Etienne Cathederal.

Walking/Hiking

The area is fanstastic for walking/hiking.  From the campsite you can follow the route up into the valley to find the source of the Treil or head off over the river to the beautiful village of Calvignac.  Whatever your level or experience there is a walk for you.

There are also many restaurants, shops selling local produce and open-air markets in the area.

During the summer months, you may find a local village fete, or a vide grenier (similar to a boot sale) nearby.
