Le Nayrac walks

In the heart of a rich agricultural region (La Viadène) with mountainous accents, this granite plateau offers contrasting landscapes and a rich traditional heritage.

Come and discover the panoramic views of the Lot valley from these former vineyards. This immersive walk through the countryside offers some beautiful views. In this wild area, you will encounter the stories and legends of the region. At the Gachou waterfalls, you can enjoy a moment of refreshment and relaxation. A very pleasant hike that alternates between shaded and open areas with beautiful views. Pass through small hamlets. The roads used are not very busy. Hunting activities are indicated in the areas concerned.

When Nayrac was still just a Roman farm, a Gallo-Roman named Bilius owned a fountain and gave it his name: Fond-Bilius, known today as Fombillou. This story is only the beginning of the legend. Walking along this hiking trail is like stepping back in time... and remembering the myths and legends of yesteryear. Trail closed during hunting season.

A beautiful short stage combining roads and paths. Moderate difficulty in terms of distance and elevation. Very good signposting with red and white GR®65 markings. Take advantage of the village crossings to visit the churches and fill up your water bottles at the fountains.

A discovery route around the medieval town of Estaing and its rich architectural and natural heritage (church, castle, vineyard, Coussane valley).

An interesting hike overlooking the Lot valley, the village and the Estaing valley, discovering two authentic chapels.

This is a stage of the Way of St James starting from the pretty village of Estaing. I recommend visiting this magnificent village and its castle. You can also enjoy a drink by the Lot river. A plaque in memory of President Valéry Giscard d'Estaing can be found at the entrance to the village. This stage is moderately difficult with a lot of road and some elevation gain, so bring something to drink and protection from the sun.

Magnificent panoramic views of the thousand-year-old town of Estaing and views of the wild Coussane valley and the Lot valley.

Discover the beautiful panoramas of the Lot valley, with superb views of the three castles of Estaing, Calmont in Espalion and Cabrespines in Coubisou. The river "La Coussane", a tributary of the Lot at Estaing. VERY IMPORTANT: this hike has been planned in agreement with hunting clubs and farmers, so please share this magnificent natural environment and respect everyone!

Set amidst lush, green farmland (cereals and livestock) dotted with hedgerows, this route offers a fascinating insight into the region’s traditional architectural heritage.

Discover the village of Coubisou, the beautiful views of the Lot valley and the lovely forests intertwined with pretty streams. Walking along the streams, the walk will be cool in summer and pleasant in all seasons. This is an easy walk, but take particular care at the ford if there has been heavy rain. VERY IMPORTANT: this hike has been prepared in agreement with hunting clubs and farmers, so please share this magnificent natural environment and respect everyone!

Highly contrasting landscapes, from wooded valleys to green hills, traditional farms to replanted terraces. This hike tells a rich story, linking two well-preserved Romanesque churches.

Connection between Entraygues-sur-Truyère and Espeyrac via the historic Queen Margot trail. Breathtaking views of the Fel hills Regional Nature Reserve and the Lot valley, then the Dazes valley. Espeyrac is the last stop before Conques on the Way of St James via the GR®65 long-distance footpath.

Interesting contrasts and diverse colours at the edge of several regions (Rougier, Causse, Pays d'Olt) and in the heart of unspoilt nature and intact vernacular heritage.

Follow the pilgrims of Santiago de Compostela (GR®65) along a historic path that is difficult but offers a wide variety of landscapes and pleasant views.

This unusual old path through the woods tells a story dating back to the signing of the Concordat in 1801: that of the "enfarinés".

Wooded ridges, fast-flowing streams rushing down from the plateau, terraced vineyards blending with the red soil, rocks, houses and the ancient town of Villecomtal: a hike full of contrasts.

From the Lot to the Alayrac plateau, climbing up a valley with rushing waters in a refreshingly peaceful setting surrounded by lush nature.

Between the Monts d'Aubrac and the Causse Comtal, the capricious Lot river has made itself at home on either side of Espalion. Visitors are charmed by the valley's mild climate.

Following the old railway line, which has been converted into a hiking trail, imagine what it was like when it was built a century ago (1905).
