Visits accompanied

To find out all about our region, there are several options open to you:

The first is to take advantage of the many fascinating tours organised by the Pays d’Art et d’Histoire department, as Villeneuve – Vallée du Lot has held the Pays d’Art et d’Histoire label since 2012. Awarded by the French Ministry of Culture and Communication, this quality label rewards areas that are committed to preserving and promoting their heritage.

The second is to follow a local storyteller who will tell you the story of the creation of the river bastide of Villeneuve-sur-Lot, the Tower of Hautefage-la-Tour, the villages of Casseneuil and Sainte-Livrade-sur-Lot and the medieval village of Pujols, listed as one of the “Most Beautiful Villages in France”.

The third is thefree Archistoirecultural and heritage tour application , for those of you who prefer to relax by the water. Developed by the CAUE 47, this application allows you to visit the bastide town of Villeneuve-sur-Lot in augmented reality, on site or even from your sofa!

Each stone has a story to tell, and all you need is a guide to make it speak.
