Experiences

Conques-en-Rouergue
In the heart of the Lot Valley, this must-visit stopover holds many treasures: surrounded by half-timbered houses stands the Sainte-Foy Abbey dating back to the 11th and 12th centuries, with its 250 pillars, not to mention its contemporary stained glass windows by Pierre Soulages...

Figeac
Figeac borders the Cantal department in the Lot region. It is classified as a City of Art and History and has been recognized by the Midi-Pyrénées Regional Council as one of the 18 Great Sites of Occitanie. The old town has preserved its layout and winding medieval alleyways, and you can see numerous old sandstone houses. The Notre-Dame-du-Puy Church, of Romanesque origin, overlooks the town of Figeac. Figeac is home to the Champollion Museum.

Marcolès
Marcolès is a small village from the medieval period. It is a beautiful historical site with the 13th-century Saint-Martin Church and the castles of Faulat, La Morétie, and Le Poux. It has been awarded the tourist label "Petite Cité de Caractère" (Small Town of Character).

Puy Mary
Puy Mary is the second highest peak in the Cantal mountains in Auvergne. It is the oldest volcanic mountain chain in Europe. The approach on the D680, the Route des Crètes, from Murat to Pas de Peyrol, is perhaps the most beautiful stretch of road in the entire Massif Central.

Laguiole
Tradition and a contemporary spirit combined with excellent craftsmanship represent the Laguiole knives. Each knife is still entirely handmade in this French village. This tradition dates back to 1828.

Stations on the Way of Saint James
The Way of Saint James (Camino de Santiago) passes through Cantal. There are several places with beautiful Romanesque churches and monasteries along the path.
