In the Pays de Sauzet set in the heart of the Cahors vineyards, where the sun shines brightly on the white rocks and stones, you will find the villages of Montcuq and Castelnau-Montratier in Quercy the "White", villages that will seduce you with their stone houses and picturesque market squares.

In Cahors, only 15 kms away, enjoy a stroll in this town rich with history.
In the "Pays de Cahors", upstream of the River Lot, admire the vineyards that line the river banks. You will be amazed by the many chateaux and hillside villages overlooking the beautiful landscape.

From the banks of the Dordogne to the Quercy Blanc hillsides, the Regional Nature Reserve of the Causses* du Quercy offers wonderfully preserved surroundings. The Causse de Gramat is a magical water-filled landscape where you can admire the Padirac Abyss. In Rocamadour, enjoy the Medieval city perched on the cliffs of the Alzou Canyon, a city listed as the second most important site in France. It is still an essential part of the Pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela.

Further East, Figeac will astonish you with its rich and varied heritage: Renaissance hotels, urban palaces, narrow Medieval streets... and of course the Museum Champollion created in the original home of the Egyptologist.
And further afield: the "Pays Bourian" in neighbouring Périgord (Gourdon) and the Dordogne Valley (Souillac) will charm you with their diverse landscapes, beautiful rivers and the tranquillity of a meal in an inn - or why not a gourmet meal in a famous restaurant...

Between December and March, you can discover truffles (known as the Black Pearl and the Black Diamond) in the market at Lalbenque, around 20 kms from Sauzet.
