Sousceyrac
Location: In
the extreme north-east of Lot, close to the border between Lot and Cantal.
Restaurants and shops: There are
a couple of restaurants in the village.
Au dejeuner de Sousceyrac, with its one-star Michelin rating, is particularly recommended.
In a nutshell: Sousceyrac is a
typical rustic village of the foothills of the massif central and bears no resemblance
to the Quercynoise towns and villages of Lot. It is not worth a trip in its
own right, but you could combine a very good meal with a mushroom hunting trip
into the massif.

The acid soils of the
Ségala, the uplands of the department of Lot, in the foothills
of the massif central, support chestnut trees and mushrooms in abundance.
