What to do as a couple in the Lot?
Whether for Valentine's Day, an anniversary or a romantic weekend, the Lot is the ideal destination for a romantic getaway.
Between its charming villages, its irresistible gastronomy and its rich heritage, here are some ideas for a successful vacation as a couple.
A medieval gem perched on a cliff, Saint-Cirq Lapopie is one of the most beautiful villages in France. Admire the cobbled streets and stone houses up to the village church.
Take a detour to the workshops of local artisans to discover pottery, sculptures and paintings.
You can also visit the residence of the famous writer André Breton dedicated to surrealism.
Set up on the Place de la Cathédrale Saint-Étienne, the Cahors market is one of the most beautiful in the South-West.
Around sixty traders come to sell their products, whether it be charcuterie, cheese or fruit and vegetables.
Sit down on the Forum terrace or in the corners of Les Halles to have a coffee and soak up the atmosphere.
Both traditional and modern, the cuisine of the South-West is made up of truffles, foie gras, duck and even cabécou cheese.
You will find restaurants for all budgets, such as the Lou Bourdié restaurant in Bach, also known as a gourmet paradise. Its apple pastis alone is worth the detour.
If you are looking for something more authentic, head to the Larcher farm. Here you can enjoy local products such as quercynoise salad, grilled duck breast or lamb chops.
In Cajarc, the Allée des Vignes, set in a former presbytery, offers creative cuisine combining local gastronomy and international influences.
Finally, the Château de la Treyne, nestled above the Dordogne, offers an idyllic setting for a romantic evening. Try the saddle of lamb stuffed with lemon and tomato or the poached egg with truffles.
What could be better for your romantic weekend than to stay at the Hôtel du Pont d’Or in Figeac. Champollion’s hometown is full of charm with its medieval houses and pretty flower-filled streets.
Drop off your bags in our 13th century building on the banks of the Célé River. You will appreciate the comfort of our modern and refined rooms equipped with a private bathroom.
Our superior rooms even have a balcony with a view of the river for an even more romantic night.
Then relax as a couple in our Finnish sauna to eliminate tension and enjoy a moment of well-being.
In summer, you can cool off in the outdoor swimming pool located on the hotel's roof.
