The department of Lot has all the makings of a great destination. It draws its character from its limestone plateaus, carved by the Lot, Dordogne, and Célé valleys. Boasting six of France’s most beautiful villages (Carennac, Loubressac, Autoire, Saint-Cirq-Lapopie, Capdenac-le-Haut, and Cardaillac), major attractions, a well-preserved environment, and exceptional natural areas, the region is a must-see destination in Occitanie. The fine cuisine delights the tastebuds with truffles, foie gras, Quercy farm-raised lamb, Quercy melons, Rocamadour cheese, saffron, and Cahors and Malbec wines.
