Planning on a week of cave diving followed by a week climbing in May in the Lot region of France. Can anyone recommend a guidebook for this area. I have found Escalade dans le Lot but only available in shops once we get there, and wanted to do a bit of research first.

That’s the guidebook. Some of the crags are on UKC database.

Have you tried @vieux campeur' in Paris. They have a good selection of guidebooks and will post to this country. At least they would a few years ago, it was a bit of hard work sorting out their ordering system and a bit of a wait for delivery but I did obtain a couple of fairly obscure French climbing guides.

Can't help with the climbing, but I've drawn up the latest surveys for St Georges, Montvalent if you are thinking of diving there. Join the fb group if you'd like. Vis reports & photos are always welcome.
