Photos taken at the height of the flood! Ideal starting point for bike tours to explore the Lot and Célé rivers in particular. Excellent hotel and restaurant!

In addition to everything that's been said, the road runs alongside magnificent cliffs, and you even pass under the rock several times – it's amazing!!

Two large domes dominate the Romanesque nave. They represent the most extraordinary example of the so-called "Aquitanian" architectural style: 16 meters in diameter and 32 meters high; only the Hagia Sophia in Istanbul has a taller dome. Also noteworthy is the small, golden church of Saint-Svair, with its large statue of Emperor Charlemagne, who presented it to the church of Cahors.

Vers is a small village nestled between a cliff and a river, super quiet and full of charm. There's an old mill, a troglodyte castle clinging to the rock, and even an ancient Roman aqueduct carved into the cliff. If you enjoy cycling or walking, the Vers Valley is perfect: shaded, wild, and often secluded from the world.

The path under the cliff is perhaps 500 meters long, and the surface isn't particularly bike-friendly. You also have to share the path with hikers. It's still a really beautiful path, though; the official bike path goes over the cliff, so you can save yourself some elevation gain.
