Interesting spots near Cahors
I'm driving a car up from Bilbao to Cologne next week, and will have a
few days to spare on the trip to do a little sightseeing. Looking at the map, I thought the Lot valley esat of Cahors might be interesting. Anyone recommend it? Other suggestions/alternatives? T. |

If you like slow roads and roman churches, it is surely a good choice.

Conques is, to my mind, one of the most endearingly situated cities of
France and certainly worth the trip.Two years ago we met up with a bunch of Dutch pilgrims to St. Iago who were having lunch in one of the restaurants overlooking the Church. Make sure to see the reliquary. |

And if you want to travel a little further to the southeast, Albi is a beautiful town with the most impressive Toulouse-Lautrec museum. -- Larry |
