About Cahors

Cahors is the capital of the Lot division in south-western France. Its site is sensational, being contained on three sides inside a U-formed twist in the River Lot known as the presquile "promontory". Cahors is known as the focal point of AOC 'dark' wine, which has been made since the Middle Ages and sent out by means of Bordeaux, some time before that district had built up its own viniculture industry. Cahors has had a rich history since Celtic occasions. The first name of the town was Divona or Divona Cadurcorum, "Divona of the Cadurci," Divona was a wellspring, presently called "la fontaine des Chartreux", venerated by the Cadurci, a Celtic people of Gaul before the Roman success during the 50s BC. The Cadurci were among the last Celtic clans to oppose the Roman attack.

The town's tallness above ocean level is between 105 meters 344 feet and 332 meters 1,089 feet. The zone of the town is 64.72 square kilometers 24.99 square miles, with populace thickness moderately high for France at 309 occupants for every square kilometre. The Valentre Bridge, the image of the town. Building started in 1308 and was finished in 1378. The legend related with this extension is a standout amongst the most completely acknowledged of all Devil's Bridge legends, with a painstakingly created plot, complex characters, and an astonishing denouement.
