Sainte-Eulalie-d'Olt

Member of Les Plus Beaux Villages de France

Locals here are nicknamed the Encaulats, the 'cabbage eaters'. The village stands on the Lot, the river of its old name Olt, which along this stretch widens into the reservoir of the Castelnau-Lassouts dam. Its church of Sainte-Eulalie and 15th-century château are both protected monuments, and in summer a small museum shows the work of the painter Marcel Boudou.
