Figeac is in the Lot department of the Midi-Pyrenees, about 70 kilometres east of Cahors on the River Célé.

Figeac is a town that you must visit when you are in the region!

It is a beautiful small medieval town dating from the 9th century, and the town still has many houses and small palaces dating from the 13th - 16th centuries, when it was an important trade centre. These include notably the impressive town centre 'Hotel de la Monnaie'.

It is however the overall feel of Figeac that you will find most attractive - the old colombage houses, houses with first floor balconies, and narrow streets lined with ancient cottages and ornate carvings.

The Lot countryside around Figeac is also very noteworthy, and provides ample scope for casual exploring or more serious outdoor sporting pursuits.
