The Lot valley, must-see places
The Lot is above all a feast of places all more incredible than the others. Visiting them will allow you to approach the culture of yesteryear, characterised in the villages, caves and buildings of the department.

Take the time to cross it on foot, its enigmatic legend will perhaps be unveiled …
When you come to the Lot, make a stop at the Pech Merle cave. Truer than life, the cave is authentic and will send you 25,000 years back. Your children will be dazzled by its 70 animal and human representations, its kilometer of galleries, its 7 rooms of mineral concretions and other prehistoric paintings.
Finish off your journey in the Lot through the rift of Padirac. First abyss of France and undoubtedly the most fascinating in Europe, the visit extends over no less than 103 meters underground. The trip is carried out aboard a boat on the underground river. Great moment guaranteed!
Enjoy nature in the Lot
We also love the Lot for the diversity of its landscapes and this particular sensation of fullness. Sporty or not, a multitude of activities are possible for you to approach these dazzling landscapes. Embark with your family on a canoe or a barge for a trip along the water with a view of the wild fauna of the river. The quality of the Lot water is optimal for refreshing swimming. You will even be able to organize a fishing session with your children. At choice, 1500 kilometers of streams, 400 kilometers of rivers and 35 lakes and ponds are perfect for fishing.
With your children, have an adventure discovering the paths of the Causse and discover the heritage of the Lot and its nature. For an hour or a day, hikes can be done on one of the many trails.
If you prefer biking, the Lot Valley lends itself perfectly for this activity. At the wheel of your bike, the must-see places can be seen. Horseback riding is just as possible.
