Departure from Lacave (Lot) (Lot)
An incredibly peaceful and easy walk which, following the River Ouysse, allows you to discover a place that feels somewhat removed from the hustle and bustle of modern life. To begin with, there is a beautiful viewpoint overlooking Belcastel Castle. Then, after Les Bertoux, the River Ouysse winds its way through a canyon with no human habitation apart from the few mills that dot the route on the opposite bank. Shaded for almost the entire route, in summer you can enjoy the cool breeze from the river, and finally, you arrive at the fortified mill of Cougnaguet, which you may wish to visit.
