The countryside is lush, and wildflowers are in bloom, making it ideal for outdoor activities like walking, cycling, and visiting local markets. Temperatures are comfortable, typically ranging from 18°C to 25°C, allowing for enjoyable sightseeing without the intense heat of summer.Early autumn also provides excellent conditions, with mild temperatures and the beautiful colours of the changing foliage. This period is superb for those who enjoy wine tasting, as it coincides with the grape harvest in the nearby Cahors vineyards.
