Cahors: Introduction
In the heart of the Lot department, in the Occitanie region of France, Cahors is a city of art and history, famous for its medieval Valentré bridge and its world-renowned vineyards, cradle of the Malbec grape variety. Its Lalbenque airfield, a dozen kilometers south of the town, has a 1,500-meter hard-surface runway suitable for turboprops and light jets, with Jet A-1 refueling on site. Between the Lot valley, hilltop villages and the gastronomy of the South-West, the region attracts a clientele in search of authenticity and terroir. Designed by Georges Pompidou, the airfield offers discreet access to this unspoilt destination. Find out more about Cahors-Lalbenque airfield with AEROAFFAIRES.
