Note: If you are looking for tourist information for the Lot department (i.e. not Lot-et-Garonne) please see Lot, France

A lovely area of South-West France, including the southern part of the Dordogne region, the northern part of the Lot-et-Garonne department, and the Dropt Valley, together forming one of the most beautiful and unspoiled parts of France.

Beynac, Chateau Bonaguil and Limeuil

Places to visit: In the region you will find chateaux, including Bonaguil, Beynac and Biron; medieval towns, including Domme, Belves, Monpazier and Sarlat; caves, including those at Domme; unspoilt countryside, rivers and caves, beautiful gardens and small unspoilt villages - several classed as 'most beautiful villages in France'.

Much of the most beautiful rural architecture in France, or perhaps to be found anywhere, is to be seen here - ancient houses, barns, pigeonniers and churches simply form part of the unchanging landscape.

Sarlat,  Monpazier and Issigeac

The Lot and Garonne and south Dordogne area of France offers the perfect combination of things to do and see, a perfect place to relax and unwind, and lots of interesting things to see.

Why visit? Up until now, it has been the area to the north of the Dordogne river, that has attracted a higher percentage of visitors. Now, with improved travel links, the equally beautiful area of northern Lot-et-Garonne is ready for you to explore.

This Dordogne / Lot-et-Garonne visitor guide will also introduce you to some of the more popular tourist attractions in the area, such as Parc Walibi and P'arc en Ciel.

This guide covers the Lot et Garonne region north of Villeneuve-sur-Lot, and the Dordogne south of the Dordogne River.

Even if you can only spend a few days or a couple of weeks learning to appreciate the beauty and tranquillity of the Lot-et-Garonne area, you will leave with memories of a world that you thought no longer existed.
