Discover Cahors

 
Cahors is a beautiful city located in the southwest region of France, and is known for its stunning views of the Lot River, vineyards and historical monuments. It's also home to one of the oldest university towns in France.

Visitors to Cahors should definitely spend some time exploring its cobbled streets, admiring its ancient Romanesque churches, such as Saint-Etienne Cathedral, and climbing up to the turreted Pont Valentre bridge. There are several museums here that showcase art by local painters, as well as archaeological artifacts from prehistoric times.

For a unique experience while visiting Cahors, take a day trip out to Saint Cirq Lapopie which is considered one of the most beautiful villages in all of France. Here you'll find gorgeous views overlooking cliffs along with charming cafes and artisan shops all nestled within cobbled alleyways. And if you're looking for something special on your visit make sure not to miss the weekly market held at Place Jean-Jacques Chapou every Saturday morning!
