Puy-L'Eveque - a village full of history

Puy-l'évêque is a haven of peace nestled in the Lot Valley, amidst vineyards, medieval villages, and unspoiled nature. This village is built on a rocky promontory overlooking the Lot River. It was first mentioned in the 13th century under the name Puy before being annexed to the bishopric of Cahors in 1228, hence its current name.

Stroll through its cobbled streets and admire the medieval remains: the keep of the Bishops' Castle, the Renaissance gate, the hanging gardens, and the imposing Gothic church of Saint-Sauveur, a listed historic monument.
