Puy-l'Eveque
Visit Puy-l'Eveque
Puy l'Eveque is a pretty village / small town in the Lot Valley to the east of Fumel.
It is a quiet town (busier during the summer months) with a great deal to commend it to visitors. The town sits on a steep slope above the river, with narrow lanes winding betwen the houses.
There are lots of small courtyards squeezed along the lanes between the ancient houses, many of which have a particular feature that will catch your eye - a small fountain here, an interesting plant there, a traditional raised balcony etc
There is a marked path that will help you make the most of your visit - check in the tourist office. (Puy l'Eveque tourist office was closed when we visited, so although we managed to follow the lanes of the 'Tour de la Ville we had no idea what we were seeing as we passed the numbers marked on the walls along the route - sorry I can't be more helpful!)


After enjoying an amble around the backstreets of the town be sure to cross the (modern) bridge and follow the steps down to the right at the end of the bridge. This is where all the 'famous' pictures of the town are taken from, and is much the best view of Puy l'Eveque as a whole.
To the top of the town is the market, held in the square in front of the town hall, and a couple of hundred metres to the west of the market place is an interesting church - the Church of Saint Sauveur is a 14th century fortified church with an attractive entrance.
Also above Puy l'Eveque you can see the remains of the town fortifications including the donjon and a part of a castle.
