Discover Cahors – Recommended route

Morning: History & Heritage

Start at the Valentré Bridge: arrive early to enjoy the peace and quiet. Cross this bridge with three fortified towers, a symbol of the city. Take some photos with the reflections of the Lot River.

Head back up to the old town: follow the ramparts and join the medieval streets. Admire the old houses and the typical atmosphere of the Southwest.

Visit Saint Stephen's Cathedral: don't miss the frescoes, the Romanesque domes and the peaceful cloister.

Lunch: Local Flavors

Have lunch at Place Chapou or at Les Halles

Try a local dish like duck confit or a plate of local produce.

In season, taste truffles or nut-based specialties.

Afternoon: Nature & panoramic views

Walk to Mont Saint-Cyr: on foot or by car, it offers a superb view of Cahors and the meanders of the Lot.

Stroll through the "Secret Gardens": These small gardens are scattered throughout the city, each with a theme (medieval, medicinal, oriental, etc.).

Relaxation option: cruise on the Lot: a boat trip allows you to discover Cahors from the water.
