Rodelle walks

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.

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.

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

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.

At the gateway to the Marcillac vineyards, on the Causse Comtal plateau, a notch in the Vallée du Cruou splits this hub of civilisation where châteaux and manor houses dot the landscape among the devèzes, woods and streams.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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!

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.

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