Gourdon

Gourdon is best known in Occitanie for its preserved medieval centre, which crowns a limestone hill in the Bouriane area of the Lot department. Narrow lanes climb towards the Church of Saint-Pierre, while the Maison du Sénéchal, a 14th-century building, recalls the town’s administrative role in the Middle Ages. From its elevated setting, Gourdon looks across wooded limestone country between the Lot and Dordogne river valleys, where small farms and hamlets shape the rural surroundings. Local markets reflect the region’s produce, including walnuts and foie gras. Continue through nearby webcams to explore different parts of Gourdon and Bouriane.
