Parking is available at Souillac station. This car park can be reached by train or car; it is large and free of charge.
This route is a variation onthe PR® andGR®6, near Souillac station, which connects to Rocamadour and Sarlat.
(S/E) From the station car park, turn right onto Rue le la Fontaine. At the crossroads, turn right onto Rue de Présignac.
(1) At the fork, keep right on Chemin des Combettes and pass under the railway line. Pass at the foot of an electrical substation and turn left.
(2) Ignore the road leading to the Cimetière des Combettes and turn sharply right. Go uphill and pass by the water tower (viewpoint over Souillac). Go around the water tower, continue north on a dirt track and soon turn left. Stay on the main track, heading north-north-west then north-west, and ignore all the side tracks. Pass under a high-voltage power line and arrive at a crossroads (dolmen signposted on the left).
(3) Follow the yellow-marked path to the right (west). Pass under a high-voltage power line and stay on the main marked path, heading west. This will take you to a memorial stone in memory of a hunter. Continue along the marked path to an intersection at a place called Lacombe (EDF transformer).
(4) Then turn left (yellow markings). At a triangular junction, go straight ahead. Continue along the marked path until you reach an intersection near a tarmac road.
(5) Turn left and follow the red and white markings ofthe GR®6. Pass under a high-voltage line and continue on theGR® which winds through a small valley. This will take you to the Marjaudes Viaduct (engravings by resistance fighters on a pillar).
(6) Pass under the viaduct and immediately afterwards turn left (leaving theGR®). Stay parallel to the railway line on your left. You will reach the Pressignac cemetery (chapel).
(7) Follow Chemin de la Chapelle to the left and ignore the narrow streets on the left that pass under the railway line. Continue along Rue de Présignac (C3). At the stop sign, go straight ahead, still on Rue de Pressignac. Cross Rue du Pont d'Aillan on the right-hand side and return to the crossroads you took on the way there.
(1) Then turn right. At the crossroads that immediately follows, turn left onto Rue de la Fontaine and quickly return to the station car park (S/E).
. Nevertheless, the bridge is a beautiful piece of engineering.
