Food and drink
The area is great for gastronomy generally, with many excellent restaurants dotted across the countryside and in various villages such as Goujounac and Puy-l’Evêque. And being close Cahors, there is plenty of opportunity to sample the famous wines produced here.
Fresh, tasty, locally grown fruit and vegetables, as well as honey, wine and cheese made in the region can be bought at the regular producers’ markets in nearby villages such as in Cazals on Saturday, Puy-l’Evêque on Tuesday and many others.
During the summer months many villages also hold a weekly evening food market. Here, large tables are set up and people gather round and enjoy food from local producers, very often to the accompaniment of local musicians – reminiscent of the big feast seen at the end of the famous Astérix cartoon books! One of the best in this area is at nearby Loubéjac on a Thursday evening in July and August.
