Landscape of minerals and limestone

The Territory is a landscape of transition between the valleys of the Lot and the Garonne, carving the last foothills of the Massif Central.

A succession of limestone plateaux and narrow parallel valleys, oriented northeast / Southwest, forms a bucolic landscape of Mediterranean ambience:

The Quercy Blanc or the country of greenhouses.

These designations reflect the omnipresence of stone and rock outcrops, contributing to this so particular light, changing over time and seasons.

This same stone is found as well on the walls of the most modest rural buildings as on the most beautiful medieval facades.

Attached to the limestone rock like Sentinels, several villages of character villages de caractère   guard and look down on the surrounding valleys.

Installed in the heart of traditional buildings, hotels, gîtes, furnished guest rooms and B&Bs reflect the spirit of hospitality of the inhabitants.hôtels, gîtes, meublés et chambres d’hôtes
