But beware, the place is still warm! In the morning, enjoy a buffet breakfast with a direct view of the Valentré bridge. What better way to start a beautiful day of exploring the region? In the evening, it's time to relax in the lounge, where you can watch a movie or read a book. In summer (or in winter for the bravest), go up on the roof terrace at sunset and watch the Cadurcian sky put on its most beautiful colors. If you're lucky, you'll also have the opportunity to appreciate the art of the region. The Cahors Youth Hostel regularly hosts exhibitions. 

HI Cahors le Chai is ideally located. Close to the train station, you can arrive by train to make your stay even more eco-friendly. Visit of course the city, the charm of its center and its markets and cross the Valentré bridge. But it would be a shame to stop in Cahors! Explore the surrounding area, between breathtaking natural landscapes and picturesque villages straight out of fairy tales. 

• The Padirac chasm : 1 hour from Cahors, live a dreamlike underground adventure. At a depth of 103 meters, cross a part of the river in the bowels of the Earth. By boat, you will witness a singular natural beauty with turquoise waters. Observe the impressive stalactite of the Great Pendeloque hanging over the Rainy Lake before marveling at the Lake of the Gours and the Great Dome Room. You will come back to the surface having discovered a whole new world. 
• The most beautiful villages in France: For those who enjoy rural tourism, the Lot and Dordogne valleys are a must-see as the region is rich in picturesque villages. Start your journey with Rocamadour and its religious city, perched on top of a cliff. Then go to Saint-Cirq Lapopie, classified as the most beautiful village in France. It is easy to understand why when you walk between the medieval houses of its village. The village has no less than 13 historical monuments, a real jump in time above the river Lot. The Pech Merle cave : It is in the region that we find the best preserved traces of rock art. In the Pech Merle cave, you will have the chance to observe prehistoric paintings that have survived time. An art of more than 20,000 years awaits you in a natural setting. 

To travel in the Lot is to travel through time. At HI Cahors Le Chai, you'll find yourself in a modern facility and a region marked by its medieval and prehistoric past.
