Camping Le Rêve

The Lot part of the Midi-Pyrénées is filled with castles, caves, gorges and small villages and medieval towns with shops and restaurants serving delish local cuisine. The village of Rocamadour is one of the most visited ancient sites in France and, we firmly say, a must if you're in this part of the world. Main sites to see are the Cité Réligieuse religious buildings via the Grand Escalier staircase, the Plateau of St Michel with its sword fragment allegedly from Roland, and the subterranean church of St Amadour, built in the twelfth century. The arboretums and eleventh century bridge of Le Vigan and the hillside honey-coloured buildings of Gourdon are also easily reached from Camping Le Rêve; we'd recommend too a trek around Sarlat 25km to Gourdon's north west, with more listed buildings per square metre than any other town in Europe.
