Built in the 15th century on foundations dating from the 13th or 14th century, the Moulin du Saut is one of the historic turbine mills in the Alzou Valley. It was reconstructed in the 18th century and used until 1914. The mill used water energy to drive the turbines and was used for a time to generate electricity.

The Moulin du Saut, where nature is gradually reclaiming its rights, is a very fun waypoint on the GR6. After taking a few old stone stairs, you can hear the sound of the river getting louder and you are quickly surprised by the sight of a small waterfall (not dried up in July 2024). It is possible to observe it from the edge of the river downstream, but you should be careful of the mossy rocks, which are very slippery.

Small calm and peaceful village of the Lot.

According to legend, it is the Durandal sword of Roland "Legend has it that Roland also tried to break his Durandal sword on a rock so that it would not fall into the hands of the Saracens, but it was the rock that broke. (NDE. Le Pas de Roland). Legend has it that Roland, unable to break his Durandal sword, asked the Archangel Saint Michael to help him save it from the infidels. Roland threw it with all his might towards the valley. Durandal crossing the air for miles, came to plant himself in the rock of the sanctuary of Rocamadour.

Rocamadour is a small clifftop village in south-central France. It is known for its Cité religieuse, a complex of religious buildings accessible via the Grand Escalier. These buildings include the Notre-Dame Chapel, with its statue of the Black Madonna, and the Romanesque-Gothic Basilica of Saint-Sauveur. The Monkey Forest, a park where macaques roam freely, is located to the northeast. The Rocher des Aigles bird park is to the west.

We went in May, and the stream was dried up, there were no waterfalls in at all. Beautiful scenery nonetheless.

On the course of the Alzou, sheltered by the cliffs that form its gorges, pretty little waterfalls dot the path. An invitation to refresh before arriving in Gramat.
