The area brims with laid-back accommodation options, including restored farmhouses and characterful gîtes, well-suited to a range of tastes and budgets.

The Lot region is brilliant for adventurers, who can spend days hiking, horse riding and mountain biking. Enjoy long walks, go fishing in nearby streams, or try kayaking and boat trips on the river. Tours and tastings of the area’s vineyards, where Malbec grapes are cultivated to make the Lot’s famous Côt Noir wine, are terrific. Foodies can also forage for truffles in season; this is a wonderful way to experience traditions of the French countryside.

The ancient town of Cahors — the region's main hub — is also just 20 minutes’ drive away, and perfect for culture aficionados and foodies. Don't miss the Saint-Etienne Cathedral, the 14th-century Valentré Bridge or the Henri Martin Museum. Return to one of the best places to stay in Lalbenque for a restful evening with loved ones.
