Sitting elegantly on the Lot River in southern France, Cahors was one of the first cities to be conquered and occupied by the Romans and thus has a rich history worth exploring. Try its famous black wine that dates back to the Middle Ages and you'll have the privilege of saying you drank wine at its historical source; the first French vineyards are said to have been planted near Cahors in the first century, by the Romans! Another bonus is the cheaper rates here than what you would find commercially.
