The COUNTRIES OF LOT

BOURIAN COUNTRY
In the forest of Frau, oaks, chestnuts, heathers and ferns coast each other: here country of the trees, discrete and attaching. The ground is red and ochre, as the stone of the villages and theFortified towns. Artists, creators and craftsmen are allured by this country where art is the second nature
Sculptures of Zadkine and house of the artists in Arques, paintings of Henri Giron in Vigan, choreography of the bodies in Cazals, the world on large screen in Gindou... Here, one shares with the neighboring Périgord the same taste for a merry and contemporary gastronomy.

Quercy Rouergue COUNTRY
the tamed beauty, Renaissance Hotels, urban palaces, medieval lanes; eras and styles intermingle... Figeac tells each day its more beautiful history around the writing inspired by Champollion.. Along Lot, it is Cajarc, the malicious one. More to the north, Ségala announces the first buttresses of Auvergne: in the green furrow of Limargue, thevillages and castles take the light of the sandstone then.
Around the beaches of the Tolerme Lake, meadows and forests bring a great natural color.

COUNTRY OF THE VALLEY OF DORDOGNE
the spirit of the river, along the currents and the old unloading docks, the spirit of the barges and shipping remain alive in Dordogne; sharp and soft river, dedicated to the pleasures of water. Its valley is a book of history: mysterious refuge caves, Roman cloisters, and this formidable fortress which stands up on the top of the country house of Bretenoux... An old plum, walnut trees in an orchard, one poêlée of boletus... the daily life is an art. Higher, the gorges of Cère form impressive parade in the mountain roughness.

COUNTRY OF CAHORS AND THE SOUTH OF LOT
The colors of the sun, Cahors, in its loop of Lot, it is the heart of the old city which breathes with the sun. The three towers of the Valentré Bridge proudly announce the vineyards which accompany the river in its quiet ballet, rythmitized by bold castles and steep villages. In the south, the stone, like the light, becomes white: in this White Quercy, there are villages with the soft frontages, vaults between ground and sky, mills on the horizon, melons gorged with sun and the fields with lavender, like a gift of the South.

REGIONAL NATURAL RESERVE OF CAUSSES OF QUERCY
the subtle charm of contrasts, the prestigious site of Rocamadour, the surrealist Saint-Cirq-Lapopie, the infinite horizons of limestone plateaus in the immense light of limestone, the happy valley of Célé bordered of white cliffs, the play of the boats slipping by on Lot, the emotion of paleolithic paintings of Pech-Merle, the revelation of the secrets of truffle in Lalbenque, theFortified towns which reach the masterpiece, a wild vegetation, a discrete flora, a protected fauna rich in species . It is a subtle balance of contrary forces which is offered to the glance, an art of living that is solid and smiling.
