Cahors

Laroque-Des-Arcs

Founded in the 12th century, Laroque-des-Arcs, inhabited since Roman times, was established to protect the "arches" that carried water from the valley to the baths of Cahors. The remains of this Roman aqueduct are still visible at Pech de Clary (right bank), along with the ruins of the toll tower, which allowed local lords to collect fees from travelers using the river.

The Castle of the English

Looking closely at the cliffs, you can see the "Castle of the English," an 11th-century fortress carved into the limestone rock to protect villagers in case of attack. A little further up, perched on the heights, you will spot the Chapel of St. Roch.

The Chapel of Velles

A 15-minute walk west of Vers, explore the Chapel of Velles, a place where boatmen would stop to pray to the Virgin before their expeditions.

Saint Géry‑Vers

At the foot of the limestone cliffs of the Lot, Vers offers an authentic experience blending gastronomy, heritage, and wild nature. Explore the village, discover the castrum islet, the Chartreux Tower, and the Church of Notre-Dame de Velles. Cross the Vers stream, a paradise for anglers, with its waterfalls and water mills. A stop at the Auberge de la Truite Dorée will allow you to enjoy refined regional cuisine.
