Les Arques walks

Walk in the forest and along sunken paths typical of this region of north-western Lot, starting from the village of Les Arques. Very green landscape in summer, pretty undergrowth in a very wild environment (passing close to only three residences). Most of the walk is off paved roads, on local lanes. Some very pretty views. This walk is marked on the IGN map and is signposted in yellow on the ground.

Starting from the pretty medieval village of Goujounac, throughout this hike in the Bourian region you will discover the small local heritage: gariottes/cazelles, springs, wells, wash houses and fountains. A hilly area wooded with pine, chestnut and oak trees. You will discover the two hamlets of Touron and Fargou, which bear witness to a rich rural history. The working farm at Touron sells local duck products. To round off your hike, you can quench your thirst at the bar of the hostelry on the village square.

From Lavercantière to Rampoux via Saint-Martin le Désarnat, this rural hike will introduce you to some remarkable heritage sites.

A walk starting from Marminiac in the footsteps of the artist Roger Bissière and his son, Louttre B.

Between the valley and limestone hillsides, this walk will take you along wild paths. Discover the traditional houses, dovecotes and bread ovens of the hamlets of Lantis and Mas Teulat.

Half road, half path. Superb views. Crossing Aurimont, a typical village with stone houses and slate roofs.

The walk starts and ends in Puy-l'Évêque, but it passes through many wooded areas and also allows you to discover some natural sites and ancient buildings. A visit to the small church of Martignac, with its magnificent frescoes, is a highlight of the walk. The walk ends with a visit to the old town of Puy-l'Évêque, with views of the Lot. Ideal for a relaxing and gourmet break.

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.

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 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.

Hike through varied countryside landscapes between the heights of Cénac and the Céou valley. The route avoids tarmac roads as much as possible, mostly following paths through the woods and combining PR® trails marked in yellow. Beautiful views of Domme and the Céou Valley.

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.

A stroll around Domme, through the countryside dotted with hamlets, woods, and walnut trees. At the end of the walk, an itinerary to visit this beautiful village is suggested.
