Take in the views from Loubressac, a medieval village overlooking the Dordogne valley!

Perched on its promontory, Loubressac clings to its rock and watches over the Dordogne. Ochre-coloured houses, pointed roofs with brown tiles and flower-lined streets welcome you to this medieval village in the Lot. From the top of Saint-Jean-Baptiste Church or the castle dating from the 15th and 18th centuries, the Dordogne valley stretches as far as the eye can see, with the castles of Castelnau and Montal on the horizon.

Whilst canoeing down the Dordogne, Robert Doisneau fell under the spell of ‘the brightest light in the world’ in Loubressac. It was love at first sight, and this encounter would mark the beginning of his career and his love affair with the Lot.
