Cahors is the capital of the Lot department in south-western France.Its site is dramatic being contained on three sides within an udder shaped twist in the river Lot known as a ‘presqu’île’ or peninsula. Today it is perhaps best known as the centre of the famous AOC ‘black’ wine known since the Middle Ages and exported via Bordeaux, long before that region had developed its own viticulture industry.
The Valentre Bridge, the symbol of the town. Building began in 1308 and was completed in 1378. The legend associated with this bridge is one of the most fully realized of all Devil’s Bridge legends, with a carefully developed plot, complex characters, and a surprising denouement. When the bridge was restored in 1879, the architect Paul Gout made reference to this by placing a small sculpture of the devil at the summit of one of the towers.
