Najac

Location: 25km north of Cordes-Sur-Ciel
General Info: Office du tourisme Tel: 05.65.29.72.05.
Website. Najac is one of several villages in this area which are
classed as
Les Plus Beaux Villages de France.
Description: Najac is rather unusual in that although it is a
small village it spans two hills.
There are some incredible views of
the ruined chateau on a separate hilltop as you walk down through the
village (see left).
Our recommendations: For the best experience of the town, park
away from the castle and then walk through the village to reach the
ruins. Nearby is the Aveyron gorge which is like a mini version of the
Dordogne – you can spend a full day touring this area.
For the children: Try
canoeing in the Aveyron gorge.

the crowds will soon arrive! |
Lot-et-Garonne
Towns
The
quality of towns and villages here gives the Dordogne a good run
for its money! It possesses some real gems, several of which are considered to be
the prettiest villages in the whole of France, such as Cordes-sur-Ciel,
Puy l'Eveque or our personal favourite St Cirq-Lapopie. No visit to Lot-et-Garonne can be complete without spending at least some time in one or
other of these!
