Saint-Céré walks

This path will take you up to the heights to the ancient castrum of a certain Sérénus, lord of the area who gave his name to the town that developed at his feet: Saint-Céré.

This hike allows you to discover the Césarine Plateau, which overlooks the Bave Valley. Here you can admire Saint-Céré and its three castles: Les Tours de Saint-Laurent, Castelnau-Bretenoux and Montal. You will walk between the limestone Causse and Ségala, a land of chestnut trees.

A nature trail to admire the remarkable Autoire cirque and its waterfall, not to mention the unique Château des Anglais nestled in the cliff.

A pleasant but very long hike in the heart of nature, far from civilisation. 1,000 m of elevation gain. The Gorges de la Cère are very wild and steep-sided. They are only accessible on foot or by train. The hike is almost entirely in the shade and, as a result, the trees often hide the view. Best attempted in spring or autumn?

A lovely walk in the hills above Terrou: chestnut and walnut trees, Salers and Limousin cattle. Beautiful views of the Tours Saint-Laurent.

This day hike allows you to discover the Gouffre de Padirac and the listed villages of Loubressac and Autoire. From the promontory, you can enjoy a splendid view of the valley.

A loop, mainly through woods, starting from the charming and picturesque sanctuary of Notre-Dame de Belpeuch, which means "the beautiful mountain". Located in the heart of the Xaintrie, it contains a magnificent statue of the Virgin Mary, dating from the 15th century. There are a few steep slopes, but the walk is pleasant. Good walking shoes are necessary.

Discover the natural beauty of the Gramat plateau, around the charming medieval village of Carennac. If you love nature and old buildings, this hike is for you.

From the Dordogne valley, a path leads up to the heights of Altillac, south of the Xaintrie. The shared influence of Quercy (on the houses) and Cantal (on the barns) can be felt in the village.

Hike mainly in the woods, which is pleasant in hot weather. Panoramic view at the end of the route.

This hike will take you through a pretty village, which you will leave behind for a circular route offering a variety of landscapes, from the plains of the Dordogne valley to the hills of the Lot and the pretty hamlet of Plagne. A long, gentle descent will enchant you with views of the cliffs of the "river of hope" and the Gallic oppidum of Uxellodunum de Vayrac. You will then walk alongside walnut groves before returning to the narrow streets of the village centre, the fountain/wash house, its lively centre with shops and the old wine press.

A short walk starting from the village of Théminettes in the heart of the Causses du Quercy Regional Nature Park.
