Four villages, two castles and a river
Four villages, each with its own unique character:
- Cénevières and its magnificent castle
- Calvignac, perched on the cliff
- Larnagol, nestled in a hollow in the cliff
- La Toulzanie, a troglodyte village
The River Lot flows between these four villages, with a path climbing up the cliff on the left bank and remaining on the plain on the right bank.
On the limestone plateau at the start of Grèzes
This hike, which is not particularly difficult, takes walkers from the village of Grèzes to the cliffs overlooking the River Célé at Espagnac-Sainte-Eulalie. It then heads north to the Bélinac menhir (one of the few menhirs in the department) before returning to the village of Livernon and then Grèzes.
It mostly follows wide limestone paths, lined with moss-covered walls and shaded by oak trees.
Circular route starting from Asprières
This circular route allows you to explore the two villages of Peyrusse-le-Roc:
- the village around the church is the current village,
- on the slopes, the ruined medieval city.
If you are already familiar with it, the hike offers an unusual arrival point. If you are not familiar with it, it will make you want to come back to explore the area in more detail.
On the cliffs of the Célé, starting from Espagnac-Sainte-Eulalie
Between Figeac and its confluence with the Lot, the Célé river crosses a limestone plateau. It winds its way between cliffs offering stunning views of the valley. This hike follows part of the river's course. The elevation gain on this walk will delight the more athletic, but it can also be easily split into two to suit everyone.
