What a patrimony !
Saint-Cirq Lapopie, hanging on a cliff overlooking the banks of nearly 100 meters, is one of the must see sites of la vallée du Lot...
The village was shared in the middle ages between four feudal dynasties. According to this , several castles and fortified houses constituted the fort of Lapopie and dominated the village. Below the fort, the streets of the village, closed by fortified doors, have retained many old houses with facades of stones and pans of wood.
The streets still retain the memory of craft activities that made Saint-Cirq rich .They are narrow with steep flat tile roof .
The mills, dams, ports, locks and towpath at the foot of the rock of Saint-cirq Lapopie, evoke periods of glory of the boatmen activity !> Learn more :
