Ste- Cirq-Lapopie
The Lot Valley has become one of the favourite destinations for the British in recent years and if you’ve already been you’ll know why. It’s immensely difficult to single out any particular attraction created by nature in the Lot as taking precedence over another, but most probably the jewels are: St-Cirq-Lapopie and the Gouffre de Padirac. Both are in the Parc Naturel Régional des Causses du Quercy which sprawls through most of the area swallowing up nearly all of the main sites. St-Cirq-Lapopie dramatically overhangs the Lot perching as though it’s been carelessly flung on to some hugely outsized shelf and been clinging on ever since. The spectacle is the main draw, as although the village’s narrow streets with its artisan shops make for a pleasant enough wander, the castle which once defied Richard the Lionheart is now a ruin.
