Rue du Majou in GourdonA citywho looks far
From the heights, you can see far out over the Quercy hills. At sunset, the panorama becomes a spectacle. Up there, the ramparts and narrow streets tell the story of a free town, a trading town, attached to its roots. Gourdon looks proud without being haughty. It’s the mix of stone and panorama that strikes you first.
Here, you don’t walk through a setting, you walk through an inhabited place. The ancient streets are alive with markets, small shops, workshops and bistros. The seasons set the pace: markets, medieval festivals, cultural events. Gourdon lives year-round, with generosity.
Walks& discoveries
Around the town, the paths open up for walkers, cyclists and lovers of unspoilt nature. You can walk along a low dry-stone wall, come across a wild orchid or listen to the river. This is a real playground for gentle roaming.
