Fun things to do in Cahors: 10 fun attractions and activities

Good museum currently showing a couple of ex pats work on the second floor. Some history stuff, Romans, but not enough on its own for a visit. Good lifts and well laid out.

Enough English to make this Museum enjoyable.

What a wonderful collection of works by Henry Martin and other paintings related to Cahors and the Lot. Highly recommended if you are in Cahors

Happened to visit on Sunday which was free. A great display of Henri Martin's work and a lovely building

Beautiful building and curation. Really nice to get familiar with Henri Martins work and life.

Love this place ❤️ So perfect!

Cool little art museum mainly featuring works Henri Martin but a few other delights and featured exhibitions.

I'm not sure what's so beautiful to see. Perhaps the scarcity of water made it less attracting that it should be.

Very nice

(Translated by Google) A majestic place which we know is the source of many historical facts but above all in the image of magnificent nature! There is a superb view of the Cahors bridge and the pilgrims’ path ☺️ (Original) Un lieu majestueux dont on sait qu’il est source de beaucoup de faits historiques mais surtout à l’image de la nature magnifique ! Il y’a une superbe vue sur le pont de Cahors et sur le chemin des pèlerins ☺️

(Translated by Google) Too bad at the end of the afternoon, it is in the shade... (Original) Dommage en fin d'après midi, elle est à l'ombre...

(Translated by Google) Beautiful and calming. We couldn't go any closer because the gate was closed. There is a small parking lot and a table on the other side of the road but be careful. (Original) Magnifique et apaisant. Nous n'avons pas pu aller plus près car le portillon était fermé. Il y a un petit parking et un table de l'autre côté de la route mais attention quand même.

(Translated by Google) Very beautiful place. I recommend it. Incredibly strong pressure from the spring. I think this is due to the heavy rains that have been falling here all week. Very clear azure water. (Original) Очень красивое место. Рекомендую. Невероятно сильный напор родника, Я думаю это связано с обильными дождями, которые шли здесь всю неделю. Очень чистая лазурная вода.

(Translated by Google) A beautiful spot in itself, but not something I'd immediately go out of my way to see. You can "view" this spring, and that's it. The side gate is closed. The spring itself once supplied the city of Cahors with water. You can experience this in detail at Maison d'eau a little further on. During the Celtic period, the spring was a place of worship for the goddess Divona. The Celtic goddess of water, to whom the city also owes its name: Divona Cadurcorum. (Original) Op zich een mooie plek maar nu niet meteen iets waar ik voor zou om rijden. Je kan deze bron "bekijken" en dat is het. Poortje opzij is afgesloten. De bron zelf heeft vroeger het water voorzien aan de stad Cahors. Dit kan je uitgebreid beleven in Maison d'eau een beetje verderop. De bron was tijdens de Keltische periode een vereeringsplek voor de godin Divona. De keltische godin voor water waaraan de stad ook haar naam te danken heeft: Divona Cadurcorum.

Very good tourist office. open on Weekends. friendly staff who speak different languages which are helpful. If you are walking on the camino GR65, you can find the miam miam do do guidebook in the shop.

The capital of the Lot department in south-western France. Its site is dramatic, being contained on three sides within a U-shaped bend in the River Lot known as the presqu'île. Dee the mediaeval quarter and the 14th-century fortified Valentré bridge.

Very helpful. Look out for the old bridge. Go see the cathedral with old and much newer stained glass windows, and a less than obvious cloister.

Have visited Cahors before and Welcomed the chance to come back, stay locally, and explore some of the small towns and villages around.

Informative, not just about the town and surrounding area but has information on Lot department and wider area. Some staff speak several languages and are very helpful. The elegant building also houses an old timber panelled library (open sometimes to visit) and is well located near the old town, shops and Amphitheatre car park (with Roman ruins inside!)

Anouk at the tourist office was super helpful! She spent a lot of time with us and is very knowledgeable.

Extremely helpful, in your choice of language. Don't miss degustation at Villa Malbec immediately next door - every Malbec wine available.

Nice museum, well worth visiting! Former pumping station to provide Cahors with drinking water by making use of the strong current of the river. Tip: use the bridge over the river to walk over to the museum (and park your car in Cahors in the neighbourhood of the bridge). Parking at the museum is not really possible.

Detoured to see Pont Valentré which did not disappoint. Spotted cafe/bar from bridge, which turned out to be under the Maison de l'eau - (closed on the Sunday afternoon) Ordered for four after a wait and was then told no Cards - Désolé. The Primarily attraction in Cahors and nearest cafe/bar to it - whose sole existence is to service the visitors to it - is cash only. How quaint.

Very interesting and it would be even more interesting if they had a film of a model showing how it works. The drinks cafe downstairs is v v friendly, & you enjoy a wonderful view of the famous bridge.

Opening hours are wrong online. Basically it's open 15-18hr Friday, Saturday, Sundays and public holidays until end June. 2nd unsuccessful attempt to visit. I think I'll give up.

Closed most days October to April. Refer photo uploaded for opening times. Basically Friday Saturday and Sunday from 2.30pm to 5.30pm over this period.

Very interesting exhibit on the water pumping station and water usage throughout the ages

(Translated by Google) Being an engineer in the water field, I was very interested in the opportunity to visit this small museum which is also free. It is very pretty and we are well received there... Despite everything there is not much in it, it is very basic, even for the general public, and many things could be presented there. It’s a shame, but it’s already very interesting to have been able to go there! (Original) Étant ingénieure dans le domaine de l’eau j’étais très intéressée par l’opportunité de visiter ce petit musée qui est en plus gratuit. Il est très joli et nous y sommes bien accueillis… Malgré tout il n’y a pas grand chose dedans, c’est très basique, même pour le grand public, et bien des choses pourraient y être présentées. C’est bien dommage, mais c’est déjà très intéressant d’y avoir pu y aller !

Alot of fun. Beautiful forest and a great climbing experience. The ziplines are amazing and the fall prevention hooks are very safe. Would give 5 stars but even though its France i reccomend them to give atleast their safety instructor some english courses, he sadly refused to speak english and because of that safety instructions were gestured.

Good value for money with 6 routes for over 14s. From route 2 they stretch most people and get harder

Trees climbing with cables and designed obstacles. Great for kids and adults alike with many different difficulty levels. 100% safe with security camera and a double attachment systems. Mostly in the shade. There is also a mini golf, this one not 100% in the shade. There is snack food onsite and the hamburger was surprisingly good quality for this kind of food stands.

Beautiful park with lots to do! Kids loved the ropes course and staff was extremely friendly and helpful! Recommend a visit to anyone!

Great find! Did the orienteering and it took us 1.5hrs with a less than optimal route! Lovely setting next to the Lot river and very friendly staff. Lots of people doing the tree trekking and inflatable games and mini golf.

Fantastic park with excellent tracks en helpful staff. We could have spent all day there. We did everything but the red track, which we didn’t have any time left for. Very nice surroundings and well kept forrest.

Really great place. Our grandchildren loved it. A friendly and competant team working there. Thank you. We will definitely go back.

Comfortable seats but cup holders are missing. The screens and sound systems are good like in most certified cinemas.

Nice newly built cinema with seven screens. Modern design and comfortable. Good facilities. If checking timing on their website each day of the week is a separate tab to click on - confusing at first sight and easy to miss a film on other days. Shows foreign films in both original language and dubbed into French. (Lost a star from me for only having French version of Dune for the VO showing!)

Wonderful experience

Super

(Translated by Google) Very pleasant cinema and rather comfortable room. However, two drawbacks: 1) the queue that forms in front of the "shop" is frankly not ideal. 2) I could sometimes hear the music and the sound of the movie from the next room: either their volume was too loud, or the soundproofing needs to be redone! (Original) Cinéma très agréable et salle plutôt confortable. Cependant, 2 bémols : 1) la file d'attente qui s'organise devant la "boutique", franchement pas idéal. 2) entendre par moment la musique et le son du film de la salle d'à côté : soit leur son était trop fort, soit y a un travail d'insonorisation à refaire !

(Translated by Google) We went to the cinema in Cahors as a family, and everything went very well. Clean room, friendly staff, great sound and picture. A great time together, nothing to complain about. We'll be back with pleasure! 🎬🍿 (Original) Nous sommes allés au cinéma à Cahors en famille, et tout s’est très bien passé. Salle propre, personnel agréable, son et image au top. Un bon moment tous ensemble, rien à redire. On reviendra avec plaisir ! 🎬🍿

(Translated by Google) I took out a 5-seat pass thinking it was valid for a year. After 6 and a half months I went back and was told that the 3 remaining seats on my card were gone... Too bad, 35€ for 2 cinema tickets is really very expensive!!! (Original) J'ai pris un abonnement de 5 places pensant que la durée de validité était d'un an. Au bout de 6 mois et demi j'y suis retourné et on m'a dit que les 3 places restant sur ma carte étaient perdues...Dommage, 35€ pour 2 places de ciné c'est vraiment très cher!!!

Super helpful & everything I needed.

Lea just so helpful. She speaks perfect English. Nothing was too much trouble. Thank you.

(Translated by Google) great ! I went there with my little brothers and sisters and everyone loved it. Everyone helped advance the investigation. The setting and the puzzles are really well put together and we can't wait to go back! (Original) super ! j'y suis allée avec mes petits frères et soeurs et tout le monde a adoré. Chacun a aidé à faire progresser l'enquête. Le décor et les énigmes sont super bien constitués et on a très hâte d'y retourner!

(Translated by Google) An INCREDIBLE experience! The immersion is total from start to finish: the decor is stunning, every detail is meticulously crafted, and you're completely immersed in the world. The puzzles are varied, original, and very well thought out; they require some thought without ever being impossible, even for beginners. A big shout-out also to the game master, who perfectly guided us and made the experience even more lively and intense. We truly got chills while having fun! A huge favorite for this room, which I recommend without hesitation. Thank you for this unforgettable moment 🙌 (Original) Une expérience INCROYABLE ! L’immersion est totale du début à la fin : la décoration est bluffante, chaque détail est soigné et on se retrouve complètement plongé dans l’univers. Les énigmes sont variées, originales et très bien pensées, elles demandent de la réflexion sans jamais être impossibles, même pour des amateurs. Un grand bravo également au maître du jeu, qui a parfaitement su nous accompagner et rendre l’expérience encore plus vivante et intense. On a vraiment eu des frissons tout en s’amusant ! Un énorme coup de cœur pour cette salle, que je recommande les yeux fermés. Merci pour ce moment inoubliable 🙌

(Translated by Google) Great scenery that really sets the scene for the eerie atmosphere. The puzzles are challenging without being too difficult, which helps us move forward. The game master is there just in case, but not too present. Just the right amount. It was a really great time! Even though it took us 62 minutes...😥🤣 Thank you, Mr. K Escape Game (Original) Supers decors qui vous mettent bien dans l'ambiance angoissante du scénario. Les énigmes sont compliquées sans être trop difficiles ce qui nous permet d'avancer. Le maître du jeu est là au cas où sans être trop présent. Juste ce qu'il faut. Vraiment un super moment ! Même si nous avons mis 62mn...😥🤣 Merci Mr-K Escape game

(Translated by Google) A great time!!!! Just the right amount of stress, laughter and enough time to solve the game (even if it took us 10 minutes too long to finish) A very well-crafted scenario, top-notch puzzles. I highly recommend it 😁. Our little group had a blast! (Original) Un super moment!!!! Juste ce qu'il faut de stress, de la rigolade et du temps suffisamment pour résoudre le jeu (même si nous avons mis 10mn de trop pour finir ) Un scénario très bien ficelé, des énigmes au top.
