River Lot - South West of France

Regional Highlights

  • Spectacular natural scenery and an abundance of wildlife - don’t forget your binoculars!
  • Amazing prehistoric cave drawings at the Pech-Merle Caves
  • St-Cirq Lapopie - a delightful honey-coloured hilltop village famous for its artists and craftwork
  • Cahor’s 14th Century Pont Valentré, which has spanned the river for more than 700 years
  • Cahors wine and foie gras - regional specialities
  • Canal towpaths cut high into the limestone cliffs
  • Popular for watersports - hire canoes or kayaks for the day

The clear waters of the River Lot meander leisurely through wide valleys and steep gorges, beneath spectacular limestone cliffs and past cascading waterfalls. They take you on a memorable and unhurried voyage to ancient castles, medieval villages and historic châteaux. For many, this is river cruising at its best.
