Take time to explore Gourdon

Gourdon is a medieval town built on a hill in the heart of the Bouriane. Its lanes, stone houses and views over the countryside invite you to explore on foot, with breaks whenever you like.

For a family outing, choose a few stops rather than an overambitious route. Let children spot details on the façades and leave time for a break in town. Tours and activities from the tourist office can add to your walk; check its calendar for your dates.

Discover the prehistoric caves of Cougnac

At Cougnac, two caves showcase both geological and prehistoric heritage. Formations and paintings, including depictions of animals, make for a different kind of day out. Plan your visit directly with the site.

Places are limited, and the official site recommends booking. Check available times, the day’s arrangements and access conditions before setting off. Suitable clothing and comfortable shoes will help you enjoy the visit.

How can you combine the two visits?

If you plan to book the cave visit, set its time first. Schedule your walk in Gourdon before or after, leaving enough time to travel and have lunch. This way you won’t need to keep watching the clock.

You can also visit them on separate days. A day devoted to Gourdon leaves more time to wander, while Cougnac can be the main activity on another day. Planning a holiday in the Lot also means leaving room to change pace.
