In between the Auvergne in the North, the Pyrenees in the South, the Ardeche in the East and the Atlantic Ocean in the West flows the Dordogne. This river has since long attracted tourists from all over the world. Famous are the Gouffre du Padirac, the Caves of Lascaux and Rocamadour, an Italian Renaissance style village built against the cliff.

Diverse and light walk, where you'll find the path of the river Dordogne in the Quercy in Lot department alternated with the Causse du Quercy, a smooth and rough limestone plateau with open landscapes on the causse. Along the many walnut orchards in the Dordogne valley you have a quiet walk to Carennac an old Medieval
town with beautiful centre.   Rocamadour
