Saint-Jacques-le-Majeur Church in Salviacto discoverSalviac
As you wander through its narrow streets, Salviac reveals a rural heritage that is discreet but rich in meaning. Nothing here is static: the facades, fountains and gardens tell the story of a village on the move, with its farming traditions and local know-how.
This guided walk gives you the chance to take the time to see things in a different light. You’ll learn how the fabric of the village was built around its resources, its fairs and its people. It’s a gentle, accessible way to discover an authentic corner of the Pays de Gourdon, with its built heritage and living environment.
Peyrilles CastleOpens its doors
Imagine a château nestling in the hills of the Lot, discreet but full of character. Château de Peyrilles, often closed to the public, is exceptionally opening its doors… and its history.
Together, we discover a sober defensive architecture, traces of daily life, and stories of lords, steeples and bells.
Far from the large carpeted halls, this is a sober and sincere immersion in a local heritage, marked by the uses, restorations and passion of the inhabitants. It’s a rare visit, like a private conversation between old stones.

Street namesTells your story
Beneath the cobblestones of Gourdon, a whole ancient world is revealed. As you wander through the heart of the medieval town, the street names become clues. Misappropriated, forgotten or faithful to their original function, they reveal fragments of history, scenes of life and lost trades.
This tour offers a sensitive reading of the city: each name evokes a shared past, an anecdote or a face. You’ll come across echoes of the guilds, the residents of yesteryear, and the members of the Resistance. It’s a lively tour that links stones and memories, the Gourdon of yesterday and the Gourdon of today.
