The Midi-Pyrenees / Lot region
The medieval market town of Sarlat gives an ideal opportunity for browsing among the food stalls and sampling the finest cheeses and sausages. The pâtés are plenty and fine too! If you need something to wash it all down with, the Cahors area offers many opportunities to visit vineyards. If you want to get a taste of prehistoric life Grotto de Peche Merle about 3 km west of Caberets covers an area of 3 km of linked galleries in limestone formations. You will find fascinating prehistoric paintings on the walls. If this gives you a taste for caves, Gouffre de Padriac is a must. A most remarkable natural phenomenon. A short underground boat ride brings you to a "magic" cavern with a dome spanning 90 meters. One upon a time. the town of Rocamadour could even rival Lourdes. In the town itself is a monkey sanctuary and a birds of prey sanctuary.
Souillac area
For the keen canoeist, Dordogne offers every opportunity and a nearby lake is a good start for water-sports for the less adventurous. Rental of canoes and organized trips are available from a number of places. Everybody is catered for! The annual balloon race in Rocamadour in September is a wonderful local event.
