Take a walk and enjoy the peace

Saujac, nestled in a bend of the Lot River at the foot of the Saut de la Mounine waterfall , awaits you, clinging to the edge of the cliff. Imagine yourself immersed in the breathtaking landscapes of the valley, where limestone cliffs overlook the Lot River as it meanders peacefully between verdant hills. Here, the authentic Southwest of France unfolds before you. Why not indulge in a game of pétanque in the shade or simply enjoy a moment of relaxation by the Lot, soothed by the song of the cicadas and the gentle warmth of the sun?

The Belgian Cross, a tribute to families

In May 1940, during the German occupation, Belgian families were forced to flee their homes and headed south to France. Starving, they were taken in by a farm in Toulonjac, Aveyron . After the war, a Belgian family decided to settle in Saujac and pay tribute to the families who had helped them by donating this cross.
