This super easy route can be done with young children or even with a pushchair, as three quarters of it is on a small tarmac road with very little traffic... In my opinion, it's a bit of a shame as it loses the hiking aspect and is more of a family stroll.
It's best to follow the GPX track because the hiking signs are not for this hike.

A beautiful route that starts on a sunken path and then continues along the roads of a very quiet hamlet, where you can discover the typical habitat of the Causse plateau. Next, you will encounter drovers' roads with low stone walls and meadows, ending on a very shady path that skirts around the animal park.
It is easy to follow the route using the Visiorando map. There are no markings, but the map is very well designed and sufficient. The paths are wide open. A pleasant hike with no particular difficulties.

This route, which includes a lot of road, is not particularly interesting except for the section that runs alongside the wildlife park.
There is another, much older route of about ten kilometres that is much more interesting, allowing you to discover Roc D'arène and the hamlet of Molière, which is very interesting from an architectural point of view. It winds its way through the woods and intersects with the other route, also running alongside the animal park.
The information sheet was still available a short while ago at the Vallée Dordogne Lotoise tourist office.
However, we would like to thank its author for publishing it.

A short, easy walk, partly shaded, around the animal park. We were able to see a few animals.

A lovely little route on the Causse plateau, taken on a warm April evening, with views of the park, especially the bears.

The trail is not marked at all. Be sure to bring your mobile phone, as GPS coordinates are very useful for this hike.

A superb walk in the sunshine but bitterly cold. Beautiful scenery, stunning nature, cattle and sheep pastures... but no signposts... thank you GPS.

Short hike with little elevation gain, no difficulty (use GPS as the markings have not stood the test of time).
Good for a winter afternoon. A few beautiful, well-restored Quercy houses and the return trip through the back of the animal park are the highlights of this circular route.

Very pleasant, easy trail. In our opinion, however, there is too much tarmac road, which can be an advantage if there has been heavy rain in the days leading up to the hike.

The signs were rather poor after 2 km, so we lost our way, turned back 1 km and finally found the right path.
Despite the rainy weather, the limestone plateau dries very well and we only found a little water behind the park.
A very good route for getting back into hiking as there is no elevation gain.
We enjoyed the many dry stone walls.
