Every year Cahors hosts the world renowned Blues and Jazz Festival which attracts acts from all over the world.

This part of France boasts one of the lowest population densities in Europe. It has no heavy industries and consequently has a very clean and unspoilt environment and virtually no light pollution which makes star-gazing even more breathtaking.
The local cuisine is also famous for duck, truffles and wild mushrooms and in spring you can easily find over 20 varieties of rare orchids and wild flower meadows are everywhere.
