Flaugnac walks

The village of Flaugnac is built on a rocky promontory called a "popie", overlooking the Lupte valley. Its architectural heritage, white stone houses with traditional architecture and hilly surroundings with diverse crops give it an undeniable charm. This route allows you to admire the landscapes of the Quercy Blanc from viewpoints over the valleys while walking through a varied environment (hillsides, hamlets, limestone plateaus).

An easy hike starting from Pern, allowing you to discover the rolling landscapes of Quercy Blanc via varied trails with very little tarmac. There is little traffic on the few roads used. The route is half in shade and half in sun, with a risk of slippery trails in wet weather.

The Circuit des Cigales is the ideal route for exploring the surroundings of Fontanes and Saint-Cevet, the two pillars of the municipality of Fontanes, which itself was behind the creation of this circuit.

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.

Route linking Leribosc to Belpech, crossing several valleys alternating between woodland and orchards.

The route alternates between hillsides, valleys, orchards, fields and woods, with panoramic views and typical local farms.

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.

Cahors... I knew it by name, I often passed by not far from it, but I never stopped there. What a mistake! Cahors is a pretty little medieval town and a city on a human scale where you can do everything on foot. With its famous and sumptuous Pont Valentré bridge and its famous Saint-Étienne cathedral, this town has an incredible ancient and medieval heritage. Old Cahors is also a very attractive place with its secret gardens, half-timbered houses, market halls and market. I visited and discovered Cahors on my second day of rest after 21 days of walking on my way to Santiago de Compostela.

This is a hilly route, most of which is shaded by trees. At the highest point, you can enjoy a remarkable view of the Tarn plain and pass by the ruins of a medieval castle. The path at this point is thought to be a very old one that has been used since time immemorial. At the lowest point, you will find some coolness as you pass by a large field of poplar trees and a reservoir used for watering crops.

The route leads from Luzech to the Payrols valley via the Crespiat plateau and its caussenardes. The Payrols valley is home to a few geological curiosities that are well worth a detour! The outward and return journeys are along pretty paths offering beautiful panoramic views or, conversely, privacy and tranquillity.

A very beautiful route in the Lot valley near the village of Albas.

Circuit between the Lot valley, combes and viewpoint over the village of Albas.

This circuit will introduce you to two of the prettiest villages in the Lot Valley and vineyards. These villages are also steeped in history and preserve visible reminders of their past.

A pretty 12 km trail, almost entirely in the woods, which is pleasant in summer. There aren't many viewpoints, but this circuit allows you to discover the pretty village of Grézels and, once you reach Le Tuc, you can see the Lot river below.

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.
