 St Cirq-Lapopie
Beautiful!
Location: 30km east of Cahors on the D40, on the south bank of the
river Lot.
General Info: French only website of the tourist office:
Description: So many villages in this area are described as “Les Plus Beaux Villages de France” but St Cirq-Lapopie is demanding of even
 more
compliments. A village perché, it has an excellent position overlooking
the river Lot. There are some lovely shops and restaurants and the village is not overly commercialised, nor is it overrun by tourists.
Our recommendations: There are some pleasant walks alongside
the
river starting from the village – details from the tourist
office.
For the children: There is a nice children’s play area beside the
river below the town.

the crowds will soon arrive! |
Lot-et-Garonne
Towns
The
quality of towns and villages here gives the Dordogne a good run
for its money! It possesses some real gems, several of which are considered to be
the prettiest villages in the whole of France, such as Cordes-sur-Ciel,
Puy l'Eveque or our personal favourite St Cirq-Lapopie. No visit to Lot-et-Garonne can be complete without spending at least some time in one or
other of these!
