Duration 04:00
Difficulty Difficult
Distance 13.7km

A circuit rich in natural sites and built heritage (fountains, washhouses, churches, medieval village of Puy L'Evêque). Stop for a moment at the church of Martignac to admire its beautiful wall frescoes.

At the heart of the Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée Cahors, Puy l'Evêque, is a picturesque village built on a rocky promontory overlooking the Lot. Behind the XNUMXth century dungeon, the last vestige of the Bishops' Palace, the city stages superb medieval ochre-coloured residences up to the quays; where there was an active port, near the craft districts.
