The wine town of Cahors<\/strong> (46 Lot, Occitanie<\/span><\/em>) now boasts a new modern hotel on banks of the River Lot with views of the iconic medieval Pont Valentr\u00e9: the Best Western Plus Hotel Divona<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

From the terrace overlooking the Lot River, the Best Western Plus Hotel Divona provides stunning views of the Pont Valentr\u00e9, yet you are only a short walk from the bustling town centre. A very modern hotel with air conditioning, it is quite a contrast to the very French style of this southern town, which lies at the heart of the Cahors wine region, where the Malbec grape rules. The town lies in a loop of the Lot River and there is a lively, colourful market on Wednesdays and Saturdays by the Cathedral.<\/p>\n\n\n

\nThere is also a  swimming pool, sauna and fitness center,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cahors<\/strong><\/h3><\/div>
<\/div>

Cahors is a long established red wine based on the Malbec grape – long before the grape became fashionable in South America. Historically it tended to be a rich and quite tannic wine, but many local producers now offer a fruitier, more accessible style which nevertheless retains the essential character of the grape, sometimes matured in oak. In the town wine enthusiasts should visit Villa Malbec<\/a> a tasting and information centre in Place Francois Mitterand as part of the Tourist Office.<\/span><\/em>

Our wine recommendation is Domaine du Prince<\/a> at Cournou<\/strong>, although there are many other small and larger producers to visit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
