Local Attractions

Fajou is on a tiny country road between the villages of Penne d'Agenais and Dausse Both have a selection of shops and restaurants, with a large supermarket just over the river bridge at Penne d'Agenais.

Penne d'Agenais has a hilltop fortress with the Basilica of Notre-Dame de Peyragude's silver dome seen twinkling in the sunlight for many miles on a bright day. The original fortress was built by Richard I of England (Richard the Lionheart) who spent much of his life in this area.

Overlooking the river Lot and 'Port de Penne' there is plenty to see and do here, with river trips in season with cafés and restaurants on its traffic free streets.

Across the river is St Sylvestre, home to surely one of the most imaginative buildings you will ever come across. Chateau Le Stelsia is owned by the owner of a major French retail chain, and in an immaculately kept space which is free to roam around there are many quirky and interesting features. A range of attractions, including excellent restaurants are also found here.

Fajou is on the plain of the river Lot, and the Lot Valley véloroute (cycle path) passes nearby: This runs eastwards following the river closely towards Fumel and the meandering section of the river around Prayssac and onwards to Cahors or westwards towards Aiguillon where it meets the Garonne canal cycle path offering miles of cycling along level quiet roads or dedicated cycle trails.

North of the river Lot is castle country, with Bonaguil. Biron and Gauvadun the major attraction among others. An autumn drive through the chestnut woods of the Bouriane and southern Périgord towards the Dordogne makes an excellent day out if visits to Périgordine towns such as Sarlat and Domme are included.

Vine growing on the vale of the river Lot starts near Penne d'Agenais, and there are a large number of wineries as you head east towards Cahors. Many offer on site tasting and purchase at very reasonable rates, or several producers will be found at weekly markets held somewhere every day throughout the area. These markets also feature a wide variety of produce, and of particular note are the Friday market at Prayssac, renowned for its quality foods and Montsempron Libos on Thursdays where you can buy just about anything on this large widespread street market.
