Atypical little cottages

2 small buildings at the edge of the small road: it's charming, plus as it's on a small hill it adds a bit more charm!

Luzech

Highlight • Historical Site

In the heart of the Cahors vineyard, this small town clings to both sides of a rocky isthmus.

On the plateau, we distinguish the oppidum of the Impernal, whose ruins are two thousand years old.

Château de Cayx

Highlight • Castle

Even though the castle is privately owned by the Danish Queen Margaret and cannot be visited, the wine produced is delicious and not overpriced. It was fun to drink it
