Description of the walk

Starting from the church, follow the blue markings.

(S/E) Head towards the cemetery. Pass it and continue along the path that descends into the woods to the stream. Cross it via the small bridge (old electricity poles) to reach the D41.

(1) Turn left for a few metres and then turn right up the path that leads to the farmhouse. Cross the hamlet to the fire hydrant.

(2) Turn right onto the path. When you reach Esclauzels, turn left to the calvary and take the path on the left that descends to a track.

(3) Keep right and join a tarmac road. Turn left and continue to the next crossroads. Turn left and cross Liffernet. The road becomes a path that branches off to the right.

(4) Continue south towards La Contie. Cross the road and take the path opposite. Further on, turn right onto a road. After 100 metres, take a path that branches off to the left.

(5) Descend to the D41 at a place called Donazac. Take the departmental road on the right for 300m.

(6) At the next junction, turn left, cross the stream and take the first path on the left. You will reach a road. Turn left and walk between the Poujayroux company buildings (beware of dogs).

(7) Continue along the path through the woods until you reach the road.

(8) Take it to the right to reach Lentillac (steep climb). During this climb, you can take sections of the path that cut across the bends. Go around the castle on the right and arrive at the church of Lentillac-Saint-Blaise (S/E).

The route is marked halfway, then you find the trail again at the company for the final climb. It's a pleasant walk as much of it is through woods and along low walls. For the final climb, it's best to stay on the road as there's no point in leaving the main route, except for the last signpost on the left which leads to the castle.

A pleasant walk with a few steep climbs. A little disappointed by the views compared to other walks in the Lot.

A very pleasant but challenging route: three beautiful climbs.
The last one, up to Lentillac, took place in the rain. A shame.

A lovely walk, but there are indeed some large dogs running loose near the Poujayroux company buildings, which gave us quite a fright. Be careful!

Lovely places to explore. No mistakes on the route, but you need to take the time to look at the map beforehand. Thank you.

A very pleasant route in a green environment (less chalky/arid than other areas of the Lot region...). There is very little road except for the final climb. We had no difficulty with the reliability of the route. When passing by the dogs (we confirm their presence – no problems to report, but something to bear in mind for people who are afraid of our four-legged friends and their barking), the path is on the left just before the bend.

The route is challenging, particularly difficult in the first half.

Hike completed in August 2019 in 2½ hours. Young couple in their thirties.

Thank you for this hike!

A beautiful hike, though a bit challenging, best done in dry weather.
Beautiful views and lovely houses.
