Hiking Lot

Short, easy and without big difference in level, this circuit reserves you a breathtaking point of view on the valley of the Lot and on the city of Capdenac-Gare. But this is not its only asset. From the parking lot of the ramparts of Capdenac-le-Haut, the itinerary leads you to the Gaulish fountain and the fountain of Caesar, two masterpieces of the historical heritage of the town. You are here on the site of the battle of Uxellodunum, the last battle of the Gallic War, in 51 BC.

Seven hiking trails have been created, including the Art Nature trail. In the centre of Latouille-Lentillac, to the left of the church, a small path climbs up to the locality of Larraufie where the walk starts. The Art Nature path is a real museum in the woods, combined with a botanical path. Throughout a walk of more than a kilometre, you will discover about sixty surprising, tender, magical works of art... A poetic and enchanting walk. To see and to see again, alone, with your partner or with your family, it is always a great pleasure and it is... free of charge.

What are these "phosphatières"? They are, in fact, old mines whose exploitation during the ^19th century led to the unsuspected discovery of fossils over 30 million years old! Accompanied by a guide, you gradually make your way into the heart of this open-air cave, where the tropical atmosphere is truly exotic! Then venture off on your own into the various themed areas, before finishing off with a moment of relaxation in the picnic area set aside for the occasion.
