Day 1
Pass through the vineyards of Gaillac, one of France's oldest varieties, and you'll see Cordes-sur-Ciel, a fortified city in the sky.
After guiding you to the hill with a panoramic view of the village, take a walk through the stone-paved village.
When pastel was produced in the region, this small village became known in many European countries as a source of fine textiles, and many merchants visited it.
The bishop of Albi will take you from the opposite bank of the Tarn River to a view spot overlooking the old brick town and Pont Vieux Bridge.
Take a walk in the rosy city, visit the cathedral and the Lautrec Museum.
A beautiful village on the Averon River, Belcastel, which means a beautiful French castle, has an 11th-century castle that offers a glimpse of the medieval way of life.
We will stay in the prosperous Conques centered around the church of Saint-Fore, which has been protected since the end of the eighth century by Emperor Karl.
Around the 11th century, the second floor of the church of Sainte-Foy, called the Tampan, is said to be the masterpiece of Romanesque sculpture.
There are also directions to two view points with a panoramic one of the village.
*Every night from April to October, the church will have an organ concert from 21:30 and a light up from 22:15.
Day 2
Follow along the Lot Valley until you reach Figeac with its merchant houses.
Figeac is an important pilgrimage route to Saint-Jacques, and the Champolion Museum with the Rosetta Stone mysteries related to hieroglyphes and history of human script evolution.
Down the Serre and Lot rivers, which wind through the valleys of the precipitous cliffs, you will visit the favorite village of the French people, Saint-Cirq-lapopie, which once shines.
There are several restaurants in the village, so please make the best of your own lunch, light or gastronomic one ...
You will stay at the pilgrimage site of Rocamadour, which was built along the limestone canyon and attached to the cliff.
From the opposite bank of the valley, you can see the illuminated Rocamadour village.
There are only a few hotels in the village, so you can relax at night as if the bustle of the day is a lie.
Day 3
In Sarlat, the food center of southwestern France, a morning market selling specialty products from the Périgord region will open on Saturday mornings.
Sweets using walnuts, duck and goose foie-gras, very sweet strawberries and flat peaches in the summer, and famous fresh truffles in winter.
Along the Dordogne River, which was registered as a World Natural Heritage site in 2015, there are still many castles that were the stage of the 100-year war over the succession of France.
You will visit three beautiful villages: Benac et Cazenac with its towering castle on the hill, Domme, a fortified village on the hill, La Roque Gajac, where you can enjoy a cruise on Dordogne River.
At Donmum, you can also enjoy your meal while enjoying the spectacular view of the Dordogne region. Please let us know if you would like to make a reservation.
We will reserve the river descent. (From November to the end of March, you will have to take a walk through the village due to suspension of operation.) You
can also think about the way from Toulouse to Sarlat or reverse.
