The Lot, rich in its diversity of landscapes and architecture offers authentic values, amazing nature, knowledge and beauty. Whatever the season, a short or long break, there will never be a lack of activities waiting to be discovered. As well as the scenery, the region is famously known for its food, in particular the Cabecou cheese made from soft and light unpasteurized goats milk. The Lot River winds its way through the wine area extending from the historical town of Cahors 40 kilometers to the west, covering an eara of 3,500 hectares. In addition to vineyards in the valley and on the hillsides, vines have been planted on the rocky Causse (high, chalky plateau). The deep-red wine from the area around Cahors was once numbered among France's most famous products. Full bodied wines have been pressed here since the 7th century.
