Things to do
A visit to the Champollion Museum is one of the must-do activities in Figeac. Its fascinating museography tells the story of the birth of writing in human civilizations.
You can also admire a mummy and its sarcophagus.
On Saturday mornings, don’t miss market day on Place Carnot: the large 19th-century halles open their doors, and dozens of other colorful stalls take their place in the surrounding area.
An opportunity to stock up on Quercy melons, cheeses from Rocamadour, walnuts, saffron, local charcuterie and cabécous.
