Autoire, Lot : One of the most beautiful villages in France
A beautifully preserved ancient Quercy village of character, with an 800 year
history, seemingly undisturbed by the modern world.
This immaculately preserved village rests in a small valley dominated by the
imposing limestone cliffs which mark the edge of the Causse, the foothills of
the Massif Central. Autoire is a typically Quercynois village where architecture
and natural surroundings are in perfect harmony. Following the lanes surrounding
the village allows one to discover a number of modest but beautiful country houses
that have been carefully restored to preserve the traditional style. Pigeon lofts,
exposed beams, frontages in corbelling, mullioned windows and steeply sloping
roofs of brown tiles.

These splendid houses bear witness to an age when Autoire, residence of bourgeoisie
and nobility was called "le petit Versailles". The village has preserved its
authenticity and is little changed today from ancient times. Agriculture is still
the mainstay of the village surrounded as it is by lush green meadows, rows of
vines and orchards of “prunes Reines Claudes”.

A charming village, resting undisturbed by the passage of time, that encourages
the visitor to return and sometimes, to remain.

Situated in the north of the Lot department, less than 8 km to the North-West of
St Céré.

Other attractions in the area:

The panorama of the cirque d’Autoire.
Rocamadour.
The Gouffre de Padirac.
