Your hotel for a well-being break in Figeac

Stay at the Best Western Le Pont d'Or during the Festival des Rencontres Musicales.

Let yourself be seduced by our charming hotel nestled in a 13th-century building in the heart of Figeac's City of Art and History, facing the River Célé.

This 3-star establishment skilfully combines the cachet of the old - some rooms have exposed stone walls - and the modern with contemporary furnishings. The superior rooms even have a balcony overlooking the river, from which you can enjoy your breakfast.

Everything is designed to offer you a moment of well-being: take a dip in the rooftop infinity pool, read your favourite novel on a sun lounger or relax in the Finnish sauna! While you're staying at our hotel in Figeac, why not try our breakfast of local produce (Figeac biscuits, free-range eggs, etc.) and take a gourmet break on the terrace of our Le Pont d'Or restaurant.

Fancy a taste of the local wines? We invite you to visit the hotel's wine cellar!
