Excursions

Suggested days out in and around Gramat.

The Causses du Quercy Natural Park.

Visit the limestone cave system at Padirac, or the prehistoric cave paintings at Peche Merle, then discover the tranquility of the churches in the spectacular village of Rocamadour. Take a bike ride or walk through the stone walled bridleways and paths typical of the area. Canoe along the rivers, or picnic next to gently babbling streams; search out the stone built follies and traditional Quercynois houses.

The area has been inhabited for many thousands of years, and each civilisation has left its mark, from troglodyte early dwellings in the natural cave systems, to medieval fortified villages.

The Lot has an abundance of beautiful architecture, stunning scenery and magical days out.
