This medieval village, ranked among the most beautiful in France, is fortified with cut stone. It overlooks Villeneuve-sur-Lot, as well as the Lot and Masse valleys at an altitude of 187 metres.

Stroll through its flower-filled streets and small gardens, near the half-timbered houses. The ogival city gate, the bell tower of Saint-Nicolas Church (shown here) and its well still remain. Don't miss the panoramic view from Sainte-Foy Church, which houses remarkable 15th-century frescoes and hosts exhibitions.
