St Cirq Lapopie, poised over the River Lot, was justifiably voted one of the 'most beautiful villages of France'. It is very popular with visitors.
The strange name of the village derives from the Occitain dialect word for breast, 'popa', which describes the shape of the rock on which St Cirq Lapopie is built.
