Figeac sits beside the river Célé, which is a tributary of the River Lot: The most spectacular sections of the River Lot including the village of St Cirq La Popie perched high above the river gorge are within easy distance, as is the cliff village of Rocamadour and the Gouffre de Padirac and other cave systems that are open in the area.

The town of Figeac is a beautiful old town with many buildings dating back up to 700 years. The Champollion Museum in the town is dedicated to Louis Phillipe Champollion, the original decipherer of the Rosetta Stone, and there is a giant replica to view within a few yards of Le Habitat.
Other major tourist attractions within an easy drive are the cliff villages of Rocamadour and St Cirq La Popie. Figeac is also on the limestone plateau of the Causse de Quercy, with cave systems including Le Gouffre de Padirac and Pech Merle recommended to visit.
A little further to the north is the UNESCO World Heritage site at Lascaux, where a new visitor centre for the world-famous cave paintings is now established.
The spectacular limestone Aveyron Gorge is nearby, and offers climbing and advanced canoe/kayak expeditions: The less brave may prefer the gentler waters of the rivers Lot and Dordogne, both close to Figeac. The Dordogne valley is also noted for its scenery and a selection of spectacular castles along its banks.
The regional and historic centre of Cahors with the Pont Valente over the River Lot among its attractions is an easy drive away.
Figeac is on the well-known GR 65 Walking route which is the ancient pilgrim route to St Jaques de Compostela in Northern Spain. This route goes across the River Lot at Cahors, and on to the historic towns of Montcuq and Lauzerte. It is clearly marked with either brass scallops or actual scallop shells.
