The starting point for the hike is the large car park between the station, the shops and the gendarmerie under the D662 road that crosses Saint-Géry.
(S/E) From the car park, turn left and go up Avenue de l'Europe, then take the first road on the right.
This road climbs steadily; follow it for about 550 metres.
(1) A clearly visible path on your left climbs through the woods and cuts across the bend in the road. When you rejoin the road, continue along it to the left until the next bend. Take the fairly steep path down the embankment, turning left at the bend.
(2) At the flat section, continue to your right until you reach Chemin du Mézou, which you will follow to your left.
N.B. At the top of the embankment, the path seems more obvious on the left. It leads to some caves and stays below the top of the cliff; it is used by climbers.
(3) At the first houses on the Causse, take the path to the viewpoint on the left (viewpoint above Saint-Géry). Continue along the marked path. Before the next point, the path and markings have disappeared due to clearing: stay on the path, along the meadow, for about 300 metres. Use a ruined house as a landmark and pass it. You will easily find the route a little further on, where it joins the Saint-Crépin path.
(4) Continue to follow the route on the right according to the map, going straight ahead. After about 200m, the wooded area is completely cleared and the path is no longer visible or marked. Follow a few tracks that have been created by various passages and you will find the route again without any problems.
(5) Follow the signs on the right; the path that goes straight ahead is closed at the end. At the next crossroads, turn left and join a tarmac road, then turn left until you reach the hamlet of Pech Picou. The marked path cuts across the bends in the road until you reach the entrance to Vers. Cross the village.
(6) Cross the Vers (river) and head towards the banks of the Lot and the campsite. Cross the footbridge over the Vers before the railway line. Take Rue de la Barre on the left and join the D653, Route de Cahors. Follow it to the left until the next crossroads before the bridge over the Lot.
(7) Cross the bridge towards Bears (GR® 46). At the end of the straight road, continue on the Bears road on the right.
(8) Make a return trip to the castle ruins, where there is a beautiful view. Then continue through the village of Béars. At the exit, follow theGR® on the left, then leave the road on the right and climb into the woods.
(9) At the crossroads (where theGR®36and 46 meet), take the path uphill on the left. Follow the red and white markings. Pass under a pylon at Pech de Bears. Go around it and continue right along the path overlooking the Lot. Follow the path to the road and continue left.
(10) At the crossroads, leave the Causse de Pasturat direction on your right, turn left for a few metres and then take the dirt track on the right (signposted). You will arrive on the road to Pasturat, a village which you reach by cutting across a few bends. Cross the village following theGR® markings (or not!). Head towards the church and descend to the Lot via the road under the cliff.
(11) At the bridge, leave theGR®36and 46, cross the Lot and take the dirt track on the left between the large buildings.
(12) Continue straight ahead until you pass behind the station, follow the railway line and then cross it via the underpass. Take the first street on the right. Return towards the car park via the street that crosses the factories and then overlooks them (S/E).
