One days drive from Barcelona takes us to Vers. This is a village near Cahors with a municipal campsite on the banks of the river Lot. The photo is taken from the end of the camp where we were pitched. It is a beautiful setting and very peaceful – apart from Friday night when a gang of noisy campers partied until the early hours. They left on Saturday morning after consultation with the warden!
The village above is St Cirq Lapopie, a short drive away from Vers. It clings to the cliffs above the river Lot and is mostly medieval. The houses below are typical. It did have a number of expensive boutique clothes shops, souvenir stores and restaurants, but did not come across as too touristy.
Had to really include the photo below of Cahor’s famous bridge, the Pont Valentré. It dates from the 13th Century and, when we walked over it, we were impressed by how sturdy and well repaired it still was. Half expected a troupe of Knights to come clopping across, but had to make do with a party of schoolchildren.
The weather was a comfortable 25 to 28 degrees maximum. To sum up, this area’s got the Lot! Now, sitting in Calais car ferry port writing this, two days after leaving Vers, temperature 15 degrees, reminds us we’re now back to real Summer weather.
