Discover the River Lot and cruise on one of the loveliest rivers in France with its coloured cliffs that possess hundreds of birds’ nests, picturesque villages, magnificent castles (the castle of Mercues), wooded hills, caves, burial chambers and middle-age monuments.
Turn
this waterway cruise into a real gastronomic journey.
The region’s culinary specialties, from duck confit
to traditional foie gras, are unveiled in the local
markets. Moor up and leave your licence-free boat to
bring back the region’s gastronomic treasures to enjoy
on board. The vineyards of Cahors are representative
of the landscapes that will accompany you during your
waterway cruise.
You can also enjoy strolling the streets of Cahors. From the amphitheatre to
Saint Etienne cathedral, the town’s buildings tell
you an exciting and eventful story. Navigate between
the cliffs to enjoy an exceptional spectacle and moor
up on the approach to one of the most beautiful villages
in France, Saint Cirq Lapopie.
Don’t miss the bastide of Castelfranc near Cahors and, if your cruise takes you
close to Luzech, a walk to the foot of the elegant Saint Pierre church is a must.
Information :
- Because of the risk of flooding, navigation is difficult to guarantee on the river Lot before early May. If your departure is made impossible by these floods, we reserve the right to offer an alternate route. |
