Barge and boat hire on the River Lot

Setting off from the base in Cahors you will encounter a series of extraordinary sites and the lush green meanders of the Lot, along 64 km of river, and pure enjoyment! Cahors, a thousand-year-old city, with many attractions to explore: its historic centre where medieval monuments and neo-classical buildings sit side by side, the famous Valentré bridge, restored in 1880 and a UNESCO World Heritage site since 1998, its protective city wall or Saint-Etienne Cathedral. On the Lot, you will be cruising into the heart of one of the most fascinating and wild regions of France. While travelling along the peaceful waterways, you will come face to face with cliffs and cirques, caves and dolmens, and fall for the charms of the locks that you have to operate yourself, rediscovering the actions and atmosphere of a past era. The timeless old villages of the Quercy, the alleyways, the mossy red roofs, St-Cirq-Lapopie like an “impossible rose in the night” as André Breton saw it, simply add to the charm of this lovely cruise.
