Séniergues walks

In the land of the King of Naples, enjoy a walk through the woods with magnificent views.

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.

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.

With a magnificent overview of the landscapes of the Causses du Quercy Regional Nature Park around Rocamadour, this hike takes you into a breathtaking site at the heart of a thousand-year-old pilgrimage dedicated to the Virgin Mary, a major Christian site since the Middle Ages and classified as a Grand Site d'Exception in the Midi-Pyrénées region.

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.

A lovely walk, very pleasant in summer, well sheltered by the Alzou valley. The ruins of the mills will delight children and adults alike.

Beautiful course, above and in the Alzou valley, visiting two mills: the Moulin du Saut (fortified mill of the 12th century) and the Moulin de Tournefeuille.

A pleasant walk along the banks of a stream that disappears to reveal the tuff before reappearing.

This circuit allows you to discover Rocamadour as the pilgrims who came on foot did, the causse to the south of the citadel and the Alzou valley with its old mills.

A very pleasant walk starting from Rocamadour station, including a visit to the village of Blanat; the route is flat and suitable for children, with half of the route in the shade.

A beautiful hike from Belcastel to Bastit, returning via the village of Meyraguet. This walk can be done in sunny weather, as much of it is in the forest. You can admire the L'Ouysse valley below. After crossing the road at (2), head towards the magnificent village of Le Bastit on the banks of the Dordogne, overlooked by its castle. The return journey is along a path overlooking the Dordogne. No difficulty, just a slight incline.

From the Ouysse to the Causse de Lacave, a circular route that takes in scenic viewpoints and the cool banks of the Dordogne.

This route takes you to the Salmière spring, the site of Fort de Cantal and an astonishing fortified caselle. The name of the village of Alvignac comes from the name of a man named Alvinius, who lived in Gallo-Roman times, to which the possessive suffix "acum" was added.

An easy short loop starting from Lamothe-Fénelon with a mix of roads, tracks and rolling terrain, with a good number of mills along the Ruisseau du Tournefeuille.

This route, with its varied landscapes, will allow you to enjoy the bucolic setting of the Ribeyrone valley, the wooded solitude of Le Mal Perdu and, finally, the rural architecture of the authentic village of Masclat with its castle and wash houses.
