See all
For a stay of 3 to 7 days, it is better to balance visits and travel times. To anticipate also: relief and steep streets. A car is usually the easiest way to connect different sectors. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be checked step by step.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Village
Conques
Conques is distinguished by a vertical urban composition, mixing alleys, view over valley and volume of historic buildings. The promenade is better to be gradual, alternating main places and narrower paths. The details observed since these detours tell more about the place than any quick visit.
City
Figeac
Figeac keeps an ancient centre very lively, with medieval houses, tight squares and facades with carved windows. The place of the Scriptures, linked to Champollion, adds a singular note to the visit: one moves from the shopping alleys to a graphic evocation of ancient Egypt without leaving the city.
Valley
Vallée du Lot
The Lot Valley around Figeac offers a path of views, paths and terrain lines that invites at a slow pace. The real interest lies in the alternation between great panoramas and more intimate sensations. A short day can become very complete with good traffic.
