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.
Monument
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.
Monument
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.
Monument
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.
