About the Lot
The River Dordogne just passes through the northern tip of the Lot department and this is a department that has also become very popular with visitors, the Lot valley in particular. The department boasts one of France’s major tourist attractions, the village of Rocamadour, perched precariously on a steep cliff face overlooking the valley of the Ouysse. Other pretty towns and villages include Saint Cirq Lapopie, Carennac, Autoire and Loubressac.
Like the Dordogne, the department has a number of spectacular underground caves, including Le Gouffre de Padirac, Le Gouffre de Proumeyssac, La Grotte de Cougnac, Domme and Lascaux 4.
Both the Dordogne and the Lot are famous for its gourmet delights, notably Paté de Foie Gras, Magret de Canard and Confit de Canard (duck), Walnuts and Truffles.
