The route is as described, with lots of pleasant woodland on a sunny day. There are very few views of St Cirq Lapopie or the Lot valley apart from the Way of the Cross, so there is nothing of parish specific to Brittany on this walk, which is nonetheless enjoyable. Thank you to the author for taking the time to suggest it.

Nice hike in the woods
On the way back, stop at the farm, the Rocamadours are excellent.

This short walk offers a different and very interesting way to visit the village.

The description really needs to be revised. The hidden path is a very visible, 3-metre-wide stone path, and the hotel is closed and abandoned, so we can only assume that it used to be one, etc. It's a real shame because the route is really interesting. That said, this route is not difficult and should perhaps be marked as "easy" rather than "moderate".

I have read all the previous comments and it is true that the route is not very well marked on the ground, but Visiorando is a great help!

For my part, I strongly recommend doing it in the opposite direction to the route indicated.
This allows you to quickly descend the tarmac section with the sun at your back, enabling you to discover the village above, with all its rooftops.

This has the advantage of making the climb back up the unstable, rutted path to the chapel more pleasant, as it is in the shade.
This is no luxury during this heatwave.

Thank you very much for your prompt and accurate reply!

You are absolutely right, this hike does not seem to present any particular difficulty and should therefore be classified as Easy. It's just that the description dates back to 2015 and, at that time , we were less attentive to the difficulty criteria and did not necessarily correct the author's indications.

I will change it right away.
Be careful though, according to one review, the description needs to be updated.

Hello,
I would like to know why this hike (No. 96785), which is less than 10 km long with an elevation gain of less than 300 m, is classified as moderate rather than easy (as suggested by the Visorando listing:https://www.visorando.com/article-recomm...)

I am planning a week's holiday with my family and I rely heavily on the difficulty rating.

Thank you very much for your help.

Very surprised by the poor quality of this route. Almost no markings and it merges with the GR. Right from the start, you have to look for the hotel/restaurant, which is closed and has no name, at least we guessed that from the size of the building.
There is nowhere to park without causing an obstruction. It's a shame because the route is pleasant and easy.

Walk taken on 17 October. Beautiful view of the village of St Cirq Lapopie. A great alternative way to visit the village!

A beautiful and pleasant way to enter St Cirq, far from the rush of the car parks...
That said, the starting point is tricky to find... but you can always bounce back by crossing the GR a little further on...
