Pont Valentré is considered one of the finest and best preserved medieval bridges in Europe. There is a legend that Satan himself helped the architect to build the bridge in the 14th century and which is why it is sometimes referred to as the ‘Devils Bridge’. When the restoration took place in the 1800’s, a carving of the devil was placed near the top of the central tower to represent the legend.

Roman ruins remain around Cahors, including the ‘Arc de Diane’ - the old baths. There are also many medieval buildings left standing including the 14th century Cathédrale St. Etienne.

Cahors also boasts many fine restaurants and cafés, and has a very popular market selling local produce every Wednesday and Saturday. The local red wine is available everywhere and famous for being full of flavour and sometimes referred to as the ‘Black Wine’.
