The area’s charming villages, considered among the most beautiful in France, offer day-to-day amenities like cafes, butcher shops and outdoor markets with fresh produce. Authentic cuisine is made from local products, including figs, foie gras, prunes and truffles.

Stone houses set atop hills overlook the rolling countryside, churches and lush woods in the distance. Crystal-clear pools glint under the sunshine even during the winter, which tends to be mild. Gardens harbor fruit trees that come to life each spring. Rural architecture can be seen throughout Lot et Garonne’s ancient houses, chateaux, converted barns, and maisons de notables, properties with several buildings spread across the land. Pigeonniers, originally used for raising pigeons, can be transformed into guest houses. Bastide property can be found close to the market square and its cobbled streets, while the medieval castles of Bonaguil and Duras are surrounded by sunflower fields.

Lot et Garonne is home to the sought-after medieval towns of Belvès, Cahors, Figeac, Monpazier and Sarlat. The department has varied landscapes, ranging from caves to colorful fields, and is located close to the Midi-Pyrénées. Bordeaux and Toulouse, each approximately 90 minutes away, have large, well-known stores for shopping that can’t be found in the quieter villages. Short flights can be accessed from the nearby Agen La Garonne Airport, while the Bergerac Dordogne Périgord and Bordeaux-Mérignac airports can accommodate longer flights. Two rivers, the Lot in the north and the Garonne in the south, are ideal for fishing, angling and water sports. There’s also an 87 km canal, called the voie verte, that crosses the entire department, offering cycling, riding and walking.
