Activities & Sports

There is lots to do in the Lot!

Fabulous pre-historic caves, castles, monasteries, churches, villages, vineyards, farms and markets to visit.
Beautiful country side for walking, cycling, motoring, horse riding, rock climbing, river cruises, kayaking, fishing and swimming.

Tourist Information

For most of the activities above, and indeed more, excellent information can be had from the local tourist office at Duravel. Or see other tourist offices in the Lot region.

We recommend The Rough Guide to The Dordogne & the Lot, this guide is a comprehensive reference for the region.

Additional Information

We highly recommend a visit to the magnificent Château de Bonaguil, just a few miles North West of Cubertou.
