Cordes-sur-Ciel
It’s a must!
Location: 25 km north west of Albi – this is the best approach road
for dramatic views of the village.
General Info: General information
website.
Description: A village of considerable beauty, Cordes-sur-Ciel is a medieval hilltop town with a charming central
square dating from the 14th century. It is also
 exceedingly
popular – it can get very busy, especially during the famous Bastille
Day (July 14) medieval festival.
Our recommendations: There is no parking at the top of the
village so leave your car halfway up - don't be tempted to leave it at
the bottom unless you are very fit! Market day is Saturday.
For the children: 2km from the town Le Garissou offers a small
water theme park for those hot sunny days.

the crowds will soon arrive! |
Lot-et-Garonne
Towns
The
quality of towns and villages here gives the Dordogne a good run
for its money! It possesses some real gems, several of which are considered to be
the prettiest villages in the whole of France, such as Cordes-sur-Ciel,
Puy l'Eveque or our personal favourite St Cirq-Lapopie. No visit to Lot-et-Garonne can be complete without spending at least some time in one or
other of these!
