French villages and major cities grab a lot of media attention, but les villes moyennes – mid-sized towns with a population of 20,000 to 100,000 – can be excellent destinations, either as a base or for a weekend getaway.
I love this area of France but the pronunciation of Cahors (Cow--her?) always baffles me. My husband and I ate lunch there at a Michelin started restaurant (fabulous omelettes) before heading on to Domme.. The view of the Dordogne river and Beynac beyond in the distance is priceless.
Thank you for taking us around lesser-known cities in France. All I knew about Cahors was the wine. Your post was a fantastic take on Cahors.
Betty, that's a Super photo of the bridge! I don't know why we never went to visit it from the Dordogne, maybe too busy with little kids...

I don't know phonetic spelling but try thinking Ka or, with emphasis on the first syllable.
