Cahors

We arrived in Cahors early enough to explore the city centre. Our hotel, the Diovola Great Western Plus was fabulous and we had views of the beautiful bridge and river. Cahors is a much larger city, but is beautifully maintained and quite picturesque. It is naturally protected on three sides by a bend in the river, and used to have a wall on the other side, parts of which you can still see. The bridge is in great shape and is considered the second most beautiful bridge in France. After exploring the bridge, we headed to the city centre where we stopped for coffee in their large square, before heading off to wander through the narrow laneways of the old city.

Cahors is a lovely city with nice flat terrain. We walked across to the other side of the city centre to where the river had bent back around, walked along this part of the river for a bit, then slowly wound our way back through the narrow streets to our hotel. No dinner tonight as we were so full from the generous meal at Madame Murat’s.Weiterlesen
