CA25 – Haut Quercy and Dordogne

Self-guided walking tour in Haut Quercy along the Dordogne River - France. Walking holidays on the last south slopes of Massif Central. Hiking tour, walking vacation to discover The Dordogne River and beautiful sites as Rocamadour.

Quercy is a large limestone plateau cut out by the valleys of the Dordogne, Lot and Aveyron rivers and by many other streams that delimit the Causses - arid stretches of land covered with sparse meadows and grazing flocks of sheep. To the north, Haut Quercy – formed by the Causses de Martel and the Causses de Gramat – leans against the Massif Central. The majority of this hike crosses through the Dordogne river Valley, from Souillac to Bretenoux, at times straying to the Causse de Gramat, to discover magnificent sites such as the valley of Ouysse, the hillside town of Rocamadour, Carennac, Loubressac,Castelnau, and the Cirque d'Autoire. You will be thrilled by the Gouffre de Padirac’s underground river, a strange and marvellous underworld. Though your days will be spent investigating the wilderness of the region, your evenings won’t let you forget that this is one of the main centers of gourmet cuisine and gentle living.
