It follows the old roads towards Puylaroque and Lalbenque from Concots.The route is particularly rich in interest, featuring, on its eastern half, works of art created by local artists. There are also numerous points of interest showcasing the natural and cultural heritage, and two stops on the ‘My Village, My Fossil’ route featuring species discovered in the Quercy phosphate mines.Why ‘cheMain’? Like the handprints of our ancestors on the walls of the Cabrerets cave, which have been adopted as the emblem of the Causses du Quercy Regional Nature Park.This hand, coloured red or white, indicates the direction to follow in a clockwise direction along the route.Keep your eyes peeled.

Perched on a cliff overlooking a bend in the Lot river, Saint-Cirq-Lapopie is an exceptional village that has preserved its medieval architecture. This deliberately shortened stage allows you to take a long tour of the monuments, narrow streets and shops of Saint-Cirq-Lapopie after walking along the towpath on the banks of the Lot. The short detour beyond the village to the Cirque de Vènes viewpoint is well worth the effort.
