Campuac walks

Set amidst lush, green farmland (cereals and livestock) dotted with hedgerows, this route offers a fascinating insight into the region’s traditional architectural heritage.

A beautiful short stage combining roads and paths. Moderate difficulty in terms of distance and elevation. Very good signposting with red and white GR®65 markings. Take advantage of the village crossings to visit the churches and fill up your water bottles at the fountains.

This unusual old path through the woods tells a story dating back to the signing of the Concordat in 1801: that of the "enfarinés".

Wooded ridges, fast-flowing streams rushing down from the plateau, terraced vineyards blending with the red soil, rocks, houses and the ancient town of Villecomtal: a hike full of contrasts.

When Nayrac was still just a Roman farm, a Gallo-Roman named Bilius owned a fountain and gave it his name: Fond-Bilius, known today as Fombillou. This story is only the beginning of the legend. Walking along this hiking trail is like stepping back in time... and remembering the myths and legends of yesteryear. Trail closed during hunting season.

A discovery route around the medieval town of Estaing and its rich architectural and natural heritage (church, castle, vineyard, Coussane valley).

Come and discover the panoramic views of the Lot valley from these former vineyards. This immersive walk through the countryside offers some beautiful views. In this wild area, you will encounter the stories and legends of the region. At the Gachou waterfalls, you can enjoy a moment of refreshment and relaxation. A very pleasant hike that alternates between shaded and open areas with beautiful views. Pass through small hamlets. The roads used are not very busy. Hunting activities are indicated in the areas concerned.

This is a stage of the Way of St James starting from the pretty village of Estaing. I recommend visiting this magnificent village and its castle. You can also enjoy a drink by the Lot river. A plaque in memory of President Valéry Giscard d'Estaing can be found at the entrance to the village. This stage is moderately difficult with a lot of road and some elevation gain, so bring something to drink and protection from the sun.

An interesting hike overlooking the Lot valley, the village and the Estaing valley, discovering two authentic chapels.

Magnificent panoramic views of the thousand-year-old town of Estaing and views of the wild Coussane valley and the Lot valley.

Near Conques, there is an easy circular with beautiful views of the Aveyron countryside. It straddles three municipalities: Espeyrac, Saint-Félix-de-Lunel and Sénergues.

Interesting contrasts and diverse colours at the edge of several regions (Rougier, Causse, Pays d'Olt) and in the heart of unspoilt nature and intact vernacular heritage.

In the heart of a rich agricultural region (La Viadène) with mountainous accents, this granite plateau offers contrasting landscapes and a rich traditional heritage.

Espeyrac is a stop on the Way of St James. A picturesque granite village with slate roofs, in unspoilt natural surroundings, surrounded by ancient chestnut groves. You will find refreshments, a grocery store, lodges and an inn.

From the pretty village of Senergues to another very beautiful village, Conques. The route alternates between roads and paths through the woods. The arrival in Conques is via a long descent that is quite steep in places. The views are magnificent. The path is always marked in white and red by the GR®65. As this hike does not return to the starting point, you will need to leave a vehicle in Conques.

Connection between Entraygues-sur-Truyère and Espeyrac via the historic Queen Margot trail. Breathtaking views of the Fel hills Regional Nature Reserve and the Lot valley, then the Dazes valley. Espeyrac is the last stop before Conques on the Way of St James via the GR®65 long-distance footpath.

At the gateway to the Marcillac vineyards, on the Causse Comtal plateau, a notch in the Vallée du Cruou splits this hub of civilisation where châteaux and manor houses dot the landscape among the devèzes, woods and streams.
