Harvest Time
This is the heart of the Cahors wine region and there are countless local châteaux, the more famous being Mercues and La Grezette, both of which are around ten minutes away. The area abounds with caves, some of which feature prehistoric remains and paintings. Cahors itself is a very old town with much medieval architecture remaining. The Valentre Bridge is the oldest in Europe and has a very romantic history. Begot was the area chosen for a British barracks in the 100 years war and La Grange was part of a farm established to supply the troops. In nearby Catus there is a tower built by the French to watch for attacks by the British troops.
Market day in Catus is a Tuesday but there are markets all around the local area. One of the most popular is on Sunday mornings in Cazals – about 10 kms. Mercues has an antiques market each month.
The A20 motorway runs nearby and continues to Montauban where you can join the A6 to Toulouse. The journey to Toulouse Airport is just over the hour. Toulouse is served by British Airways as well as Easyjet, FlyBe and BMIBaby. Bergerac Airport is also served by RyanAir and FlyBe and is about a one hour drive. Rodez and Limoges Airports are a two hour drive. Cahors is on the main railway line between Paris and Toulouse. There is a National Express bus service from Cahors to London Victoria coach station.
