Saint-Projet walks
Circular loop starting from Le Vigan en Quercy
A route taking us up to the heights of Le Vigan en Quercy (Lot-46)
Leaving the village and its narrow streets, we gradually climb along small roads and paths to the hamlet of Gamoutou.
Winding our way from valley to ridge, passing numerous streams and their mills, we discover beautiful views of the surrounding countryside.
Cabouy and Saint-Sauveur sinkholes circular loop
Starting from the Col de Magès, a circular route that takes you to the Gouffre de Cabouy and the Gouffre Saint-Sauveur.
The resurgences are most spectacular to see in winter, spring and autumn when the water flow is greater, and on a day with clear skies, which will give beautiful colours to the gushing waters. But it’s different every time, so the best thing is still to go and discover them for yourself.
Unfortunately, there is an 800-metre stretch along the road that cannot be avoided without a major detour, but the rest of the walk takes you along paths through some very beautiful, quiet spots.

Rocamadour, the sacred city of the Lot, which hides many wonders
As well as its breathtaking beauty, Rocamadour is a tiny village, yet one that harbours a unique architectural and spiritual heritage. The steep, cobbled streets transport you to another era, right at the heart of history. With 216 steps and 1,000 years of history, this village in the Lot conceals millennia-old treasures on the cliffside.
Perched above the Gorges de l'Alzou, Rocamadour is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful villages in France.
