Description
Écluse de Lacombe is a historic lock built around 1810 in Cahors. With manually operated gates and a depth of 4 meters, this fascinating monument of hydraulic engineering is one of the last locks built during the Ancien Régime.
The lock is part of the restored navigation system of the Lot River, which once played a key role in trade and transportation. Today it is a popular spot for history buffs and water tourism enthusiasts.
When visiting the Écluse de Lacombe, combine your trip with exploring other Cahors attractions, such as the UNESCO-listed Valentré Bridge and the city's 26 secret gardens.
