This route takes you to the Salmière spring, the site of Fort de Cantal and an astonishing fortified caselle. The name of the village of Alvignac comes from the name of a man named Alvinius, who lived in Gallo-Roman times, to which the possessive suffix "acum" was added.

As well as its breathtaking beauty, Rocamadour is a tiny village, yet one that harbours a unique architectural and spiritual heritage. The steep, cobbled streets transport you to another era, right at the heart of history. With 216 steps and 1,000 years of history, this village in the Lot conceals millennia-old treasures on the cliffside. Perched above the Gorges de l'Alzou, Rocamadour is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful villages in France.

Starting from the Col de Magès, a circular route that takes you to the Gouffre de Cabouy and the Gouffre Saint-Sauveur. The resurgences are most spectacular to see in winter, spring and autumn when the water flow is greater, and on a day with clear skies, which will give beautiful colours to the gushing waters. But it’s different every time, so the best thing is still to go and discover them for yourself. Unfortunately, there is an 800-metre stretch along the road that cannot be avoided without a major detour, but the rest of the walk takes you along paths through some very beautiful, quiet spots.

A short walk starting from the village of Théminettes in the heart of the Causses du Quercy Regional Nature Park.

A very pleasant route for the whole family, with no difficulty at all. The route is situated in the valley between Meyronne and the Dordogne. You can see the old kiln of a very old tile works, with its manor house at the edge of the hamlet of Laborie; then we arrive at Port de Creysse where, in summer, a boat can take you across the Dordogne.

A very varied walk in the municipality of Floirac. Stream, "couasne" (backwater), mill, fountain, wayside cross and dry stone walls... It's a joy to discover all this heritage.
