This part of France is known as Quercy, which was an ancient French province up until the French revolution.

The capital of the Lot is Cahors, a pretty town of about 20,000 people, built on a big bend of the River Lot.
The central part of the Lot department is taken up by the Regional Natural Park of the Causses de Quercy. This area of outstanding natural beauty, contains many deep caves (such as Gouffre de Padirac), gorges, rivers and a limestone plateau. It is also popular with astronomers and star-gazers on account of its incredibly clear night skies (the so-called Quercy Black Triangle).
