This hike allows you to discover a rich architectural heritage and beautiful landscapes near Caylus, in Tarn-et-Garonne. The return journey is on tarmac, as there is no alternative, but the road is pleasant and quiet, except for the last kilometre.

Walk in the Bonnette valley between fields and forest with views of the Château de Cas and a strange rock formation known as Rocher Tremblant. You will pass two mills that have been converted into homes, a restored old church, a restored old bread oven and other small stone structures typical of our region (low walls, cazelles, etc.).

In this beautiful region of Rouergue, near Saint-Antonin, Caylus and the Bonnette valley, we walk along paths and through valleys, passing mills, beautiful Rouergate buildings, chapels and wash houses.

This lovely walk will take you along a variation ofthe GRP® trail that runs alongside the Ruisseau des Sietges (a tributary of the La Lère), the beautiful hamlets of Perrière (restored houses, stone walls, carved calvary and cazelle) and Saint-Symphorien (a former 15th-century priory, cemetery with dry stone enclosures, spring and restored stone basin). Part of the route is through woodland (magnificent boxwood paths) and the return journey is along quiet little roads on the limestone plateau.

Walk between the limestone plateau and the valley with old mossy box trees, views of the Roc d'Anglars, and the discovery of a cave and the Trou de la Gourgue with its turquoise blue water that supplies part of the village of Saint-Antonin-Noble-Val.

This loop allows you to discover the Causse in all its different aspects: cultivated areas, wooded areas, dry stone walls bordering the plots and the crossing of hamlets with typical Quercy houses.

Along the route, walkers pass through a wide variety of natural environments and landscapes. Intermittent watercourses: the bed of the Lère Morte, visible depending on the season. Former farming areas, evidence of an agricultural past linked in particular to hemp production. Riparian forest and wooded slopes: cool, shady areas dominated by mosses and undergrowth. Downy oak forests: stands adapted to stony, dry soils. Limestone cliffs: rock formations marking the relief of the causse. The route offers a succession of contrasting landscapes: fields, forest, open valley, cliffs, causse.

This is a lovely, varied and undulating hike, partly along the banks of the Aveyron, offering superb views of the Cirque de Bône.

A hike on the Beauregard limestone plateaus, in the heart of a landscape sculpted by pastoralism and our Gallic ancestors.

This gentle hike takes you from the small village of Cazals to the Cirque de Bône viewpoint, overlooking the meander of the same name.

The end of the route offers beautiful views of the Aveyron and the village of Brousses perched on its cliff.

Hike through agricultural land, alternating between the stony paths of the Causse plateau to the west and the chestnut forests typical of the Ségala region to the south-east.

This route is marked along its entire length: aPR®: yellow markings (namedPR®2on the wooden signs) which sometimes follows theGRP® route: red and yellow markings.
