Hiking

FIGEAC is a marvel of medieval town planning. The historic center is huge. The majority of the buildings have been protected from the inevitable degradation over time and have been lovingly restored to make a special impression on visitors.
Walking through the old streets and alleys of FIGEAC is like stepping back in time. There are still hundreds of half-timbered houses, many of which have a "solarium" under the roof, where the washerwomen used to dry their laundry and where the citizens enjoyed their meals in summer.

Hiking

Figeac is one of the 137 French towns and regions that are allowed to bear the designation "Villes et Pays dárt et d'histoire". On many buildings you will find a sign with a key and a number. These particularly interesting buildings can be viewed on a sophisticated and very worthwhile tour. A brochure with the route and description is available from the Office de Tourisme.
