THE LOT


Padirac Caves near Thamon

"The character of the Lot has various facets, each embodied in a different area, and it's this amazing diversity that makes it so fascinating.

Indulge your curiosity

In the heart of the Lot, the Causses du Quercy Regional Natural Park is limestone country; the domain of water and stone and of marvellous caves - a rambler's paradise.

Then there are the rivers: fun in and on the Lot and the Célé, swimming in the sun-bathed Dordogne…

Come to Cahors, whose noble vineyards grace the river terraces on either bank of the Lot.

Or to Rocamadour, for a journey back in time.
Rocamadour near Thamon

The Lot will soon cast its spell over you."

Bernard CHARLES
President of the Comité Départmental du Tourisme

Tourist advertising or not, the Lot is indeed special, the magical and somewhat wilder twin to the Dordogne.

The chapel at Rocamadour has its own power, especially out of the tourist season and is worth a visit for prayer or meditation if there's some specific request you feel you need to make.
