CHAI Youth Hostel / Antonio Virga architecte
Overlooking the Valentré Bridge and the Lot River, the CHAI building is a ?beacon,? the new civic heart of a green and recreational zone extending along the banks of the river. It offers a broad, unobstructed view over this fortified bridge dating from the 14th century, and listed in the UNESCO registry of World Heritage Sites and a link on the historic Cahors discovery walking tour. The many medieval sites scattered around this ancient town are a major reason for its international reputation. The CHAI was designed in relation with and in answer to the town?s history, heritage and the intersection of the region?s main axes of circulation.
