At the heart of the Causses du Quercy and Dordogne Valley Nature Park, we are surrounded by numerous villages classified as the Most Beautiful Villages in France:

Visit the most beautiful villages of the Lot

The Dordogne valley is home to an exceptional cultural heritage and is dotted with villages of rare beauty, most of them built on the heights or beside the river. Castles, churches, stone buildings, cobbled streets, preserved natural surroundings: they all have their own history and special charm that lovers of heritage and authenticity can appreciate.

Many of them are in the Lot department and are easily accessible from the Port campsite in less than an hour. Some are so captivating that they belong to the network of “most beautiful villages of France”:

Autoire, with its ramparts, its castles (castle of the English, castle of Busqueille, castle of Limargue) and its dovecotes.
