Sainte-Colombe (Lot) walks

This walk through undulating terrain will take you along streams to the ridgelines, offering sweeping views of the Ségala. According to legend, the locals did not know where to build the church. In a fit of frustration, the mason threw his hammer into the sky. A dove caught it in mid-air and then dropped it. The answer had thus come from the heavens. The image of the dove has often been used by the local council; it appears on the stained-glass windows holding a branch, as well as on the corners of the bell tower.
