Concots walks
The CheMain trail starting from Concots
This circular route connects the villages of Concots and Escamps. It follows the old roads to Puylaroque and Lalbenque from Concots.
It is a particularly rich route, with works of art created by local artists on its eastern half. There are also numerous points of interest showcasing the natural and cultural heritage, and two points on the "My Village, My Fossil" route featuring species discovered in the Quercy phosphate mines.
Why cheMain? Because the hand of our ancestors on the walls of the Cabrerets cave has been adopted as the emblem of the Causses du Quercy Regional Natural Park.
This hand, coloured red or white, indicates the direction to follow in a clockwise direction around the route.
Keep your eyes peeled.

Saint Cirq Lapopie From La Truffière campsite in Bouziès towpath
Eight-shaped loop through the Cirque de Vènes and the village of Saint-Cirq-Lapopie. Remarkable towpath to Bouziès, then return via the Causse and the Chemin de Croix.
Walking around Vaylats
This easy route with little elevation gain offers two attractions: the chance to discover a rich and varied rural heritage (visit Vaylats and the surrounding hamlets) and a stroll through wild countryside (typical Causse vegetation). The walk begins in a landscape of meadows and fields and continues through dry grasslands and woods.
Circuit of wells and wash houses from Aujols
Wells, wash houses, gariottes (dry stone shepherd's huts), abbey ruins, remains of a fortification and a cluster of old rural houses are the main attractions of this rich and varied walk, which is very typical of the Lot region's heritage.
Old mine and viewpoint over the Lot from Crégols
This is an easy hike on sharp limestone pavement, offering a beautiful viewpoint with a passage near a chasm, which is not secured, so caution is required for all.
The banks of the Lot in Saint-Cirq-Lapopie
This walk allows you to discover Saint-Cirq-Lapopie, the River Lot and its towpath, then the limestone plateau above the village. I also suggest a shorter alternative route.
Route of water in Laburgade
This blue-marked route takes you on a tour of the village's rural heritage, with springs and fountains to discover amid beautiful natural landscapes.
A description is available at the town hall and in a letterbox on the festival square in the heart of the village.
The path of wells and wash houses in Laburgade
Wells, wash houses, cazelles (stone huts), truffle fields, the remains of an old priory and typical Quercy houses are what you will find on this beautiful hike in the countryside near Cahors.
Along the Lot from Bouziès to Saint-Cirq-Lapopie
A beautiful loop along the Lot with a return trip via the plateau.
Bouziès - Saint-Cirq-Lapopie - Bouziès
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.
Loop above the meanders of the Lot between Saint-Géry and Vers
This hike, along cliff-top paths, offers superb views of several meanders of the Lot, which you will cross. Several small locks are used by pleasure boats. The descent to Vers allows you to discover the village and its river of the same name with its port at the confluence with the Lot.
Four villages, two castles and a river
Four villages, each with its own unique character:
- Cénevières and its magnificent castle
- Calvignac, perched on the cliff
- Larnagol, nestled in a hollow in the cliff
- La Toulzanie, a troglodyte village
The River Lot flows between these four villages, with a path climbing up the cliff on the left bank and remaining on the plain on the right bank.
From the Cornus rock to Trou Madame
This circular walk, proposed by the Association 'les pierres vivent' and the commune of Cénevières, winds its way from the valley to the causse, sometimes along small wild paths, sometimes along wider paths, and very few roads.
Along the way, you will discover fountains, caselles, dovecotes, chapels and wash houses, as well as the Trou Madame spring and the château, which is open to visitors
The cornices of the Causse plateau in Cénevières
This route passes through various high points offering beautiful views of different valleys and the Lot valley.
Perte du Cros, its cave and the Saillagol mill
Discover the source of a stream (the intermittent Cros stream) and its cave. The walk crosses woods and fields and offers views of numerous small heritage sites (low walls, cazelles, wells, crosses, church). The path passes by the foot of the Saillagol mill, which has been restored and is in operation on certain dates.
