Valentré Bridge

Highlight • Monument

The Valentré bridge is one of the emblematic monuments of the city of Cahors. Unique in its kind, it is impressive.

This defensive bridge was built from 1308 by order of the consuls of the city. Its impeccable condition is due to its restoration in the 1880s.

By paying attention to the different sculptures, you may notice a frightened devil. The bridge is indeed nicknamed the Devil's Bridge: the architect responsible for the restoration at the beginning of the 19th century, Paul Gout, had this legend immortalized by a sculpted stone. It depicts the devil trying to pull the stone from the bridge without succeeding.

Saint-Cirq-Lapopie

Highlight • Settlement

A true masterpiece of medieval times. The village is perched on a cliff overlooking one of the meanders of the Lot. Very visited, it deserves its classification among the most beautiful villages in France.

Magnificent view of the Soubirous district, marked by the towers of the Saint-Barthélémy church and the Duèze palace, named after a famous Cadurcian family, a member of which became pope in 1316 in Avignon. You will be fascinated by the southern gothic church and the emblematic buildings such as the Duèze palace, the medieval houses and the hospital of Grossia. A captivating experience in the heart of the remarkable historic sector of Cahors.
