Martel

In the Lot, you can't get bored ! Between a visit to prehistoric cave of Pech Merle as the discovery of a museum such as Champollion and the World Scriptures, an escape in a medieval castle as Castelnau or stroll through a secret garden in Cahors... be surprised by this outstanding heritage !

The Lot's character is formed by its 'causses' (limestone plateaux) through which the Lot, Dordogne and Célé valleys have carved their way. It is studded with major tourist attractions and beautiful villages such as Rocamadour, Cahors, Figeac and Saint Cirq Lapopie…. Man and Nature have both left their imprint on the Pech Merle cave and Padirac Chasm. When you're rambling or cycling, the unspoiled, authentic nature of the Lot is plain to see. Home to excellent local produce and fine food and wines, the Lot has many treats to offer your taste buds, including truffles, foie gras, lamb and melons from Quercy, and Cahors Malbec Wine.
