Famous Villages
We are
blessed with being in the center of a ring of famous, beautiful and
picturesque villages. We'll mention five all of which are less than an hour
away. They are very definitely worth seeing, but in the summer at the height
of the season they do get crowded with tourists.
(Note: The pictures are links to each town's website. Enjoy them!)
 Belcastel.
Medieval village on river. Fabulous restaurant, Michelin starred! One of our
favorites, but parking is difficult in summer.
 Conques. This time
perched on a hill. Very beautiful and less over run by tourist shops than
most. Better parking.
 Cordes. Truly
spectacular perched on its own hill. Very well worth braving the climb and
the summer crowds to visit. Excellent musical festival in the summer.
 Rocamadour. Very
famous, very crowded and very touristy. Still worth seeing, particularly if
you can do it out of season.
 St Cirq- Lapopie. Another favorite, we love the view down to the river lot. Also has, we
think, some better quality shops & nice places to eat. Parking not bad most
of the time.
