Moyrazès walks

A lovely walk from the charming village of Moyrazes, which overlooks the Aveyron valley and its magnificent panoramic views.

A tour around the valley of one of the most beautiful villages in France, Belcastel, with several viewpoints over its castle, its old bridge and the village below. You will also pass by the Fort du Roc d'Anglars, and on the way down via the Way of the Cross, you will discover the Lourdou cave with its Virgin Mary.

A short hike suitable for everyone, ideal for children, with a few gentle slopes but no particular difficulties.

An easy hike on the outskirts of Rodez, allowing you to discover four mansions with remarkable architecture typical of the Causse Comtal, the limestone plateau of the Counts of Rodez. This region, with its strong agricultural tradition, is full of estates, including those visible here, which bear witness to a rich past.

Walk along the banks of the Aveyron and on the hillsides with a botanical trail and another on the maquisards. Pretty views, beech, chestnut and oak forests, moors on the hillsides.

This hike is partly the same as the hike (Causse de Lanhac cazelles route, southern circular). The route is the same for both routes up to point (4). A land of pastoralism, the Causse de Lanhac has preserved not only its fauna and flora, but also an important heritage. No fewer than twenty cazelles are listed there.A volunteer association attached to the Rodelle rural community centre has been working for several years to restore these buildings, which have suffered the ravages of time. This hike will allow you to discover the northern part of the area

This hike is partly the same as the "Circuit des cazelles du Causse de Lanhac boucle Nord" hike. The route is the same for both circuits until (8). Marked with "Espace Naturel Sensible (ENS)" signs. A pastoral land, the Causse de Lanhac has preserved not only its fauna and flora but also an important heritage. No fewer than twenty cazelles are listed there. A volunteer association, attached to the Rodelle rural community centre, has been working for several years to restore these buildings, which have suffered the ravages of time. This hike will allow you to discover the southern part of the site.

During this circuit, you will discover a geological curiosity, the karstic caves of Py and Rouffiès, composed of fairy chimneys. The village is picturesque with its 13th-century church and bell tower surrounded by four pinnacles. The second part of the circuit offers a view of the village and the crossing of the Aveyron on an old bridge, the Pont du Cambon.

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.

Four new footbridges to span the canyon. They replace the ford crossings, which are often submerged by the Dourdou.

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.

A beautiful, small but challenging unpaved circuit for a half-day of physical exertion. Although classified as moderately difficult, you will need to be reasonably fit to tackle the rollercoaster ride of the Viaur. Woods, water, views and old stones are here for your viewing pleasure.

The Las Planques chapel is a remarkable example of southern Romanesque art. It is nestled on a rocky promontory in the middle of the woods and majestically overlooks the Viaur Gorges. This long loop is less difficult to access than the one from Pampelonne (published on Visorando). Although classified as moderately difficult, you need to be reasonably fit to cover the distance and tackle the rollercoaster ride of the Viaur.

A beautiful excursion for lovers of unspoilt wilderness. Almost the entire hike is on narrow paths, grassy or rocky tracks. The return journey is a rollercoaster ride, mostly through the Gorges du Viaur Sauvage.

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

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.

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.
