Cahors Vacation Rentals

The stunning capital of the Lot department, a short term rental villa in Cahors buys you a place directly in the middle of French culture.
A town full of history, Cahors has enough places to go and things to do to fill up your entire French vacation!
The jewel of the city is the Pont de Valentré, which has been said to be the most photographed sight in France outside Paris. Said to be built with the assistance of the devil, the Valentré Bridge was a main part of the Santiago de Compostela pilgrim trail, and the story of it's construction is a chilling tale. Some even say the Devil still resides in one of the bridges towers!
When you rent a privately owned house in Cahors, you'll also get access to the many other sights of the town. The ancient city gates and rampart, the stunning views from Mont Saint Cyr, and the twice-weekly market, where you can find local Rocamadour goat’s cheese aside many other cheese and local produce.
Yet another beauty of the city is the double-domed renaissance Cathedral of Saint Etienne. This 12th Century building is a national monument and is said to be an excellent example of late Romanesque architecture, and is a must-be for anyone remotely interested in architechture.
Of course a rental Gite in Cahors lets you experience the famous Cahors wine, a red wine made from the grapes grown around the town. The making of the so-called "black wine of Lot" dates back to the Roman times and it has recently had a spike in popularity around France.
When you find your rental cottage in Cahors you can take the time to explore the smaller villages around the area, to really get a taste of the French countryside. Places such as Bagat-en-Quercy, with it's private cottages, and rental gites in Montcuq are other great ways to let you see the beauty of this rural French area.
