Pont valentré
Have you been to the South of France?  Well the Ponte Valente is a must see near Cahors.  This 14th century six span stone bridge is a symbol of the city of Cahors, crossing the Lot River.  Opened in 1350, there is a legend here just like so many of the structures around medieval France.  #reflections #travel #france #reflection

Cahors is such a friendly town, the restaurants and shops are a bit pricey but it’s a tourist hub so to be expected. I’d recommend the Bistro la Lisa and their Query sandwich, kids menus is perfect and delicious food.

4/5 - Good

Verified traveller

Stop by the pub - au bureau on the rue dr Gambetta it’s a great place to watch the world go by and a shaker walk from the main fountains in the square.
