This was one of my favourite villages in France. I spent the day here in heaven, literally hanging around and wandering. It’s so small that it probably would take half an hour to walk through every street and path, but it’s worth it to just take your time and enjoy the atmosphere. It’s got an artsy feel to it, as most of the residents are artists or trades people, living off of selling their wares from small storefronts or their homes. It’s perched up on a very high hill, so the views over the Lot river and countryside below are breathtaking. It can either be taken as a side trip from Cahors, or a quiet retreat in one of the few hotels that are actually there. Ah, just remembering the languishing day makes me smile…Photo: Saint Cirq Lapopie
