Nestled in the heart of the Causse, the Félix Cazelle is a dry stone hut hand-built by a former farmer from the village. Like many cazelles, it once served as a shelter for shepherds or to store agricultural equipment.

Issendolus is a village in the Lot department, nestled on the Causse plateau, halfway between Gramat and Figeac. It is known for its ancient phosphate quarries and dolmens. Peaceful and surrounded by nature, it is a good starting point for exploring the landscapes of the Causse de Gramat.

Shortly after Lacave, on the way to the Ouysse Gorges, you'll encounter some beautiful waterfalls. Surrounded by cliffs and meadows, this is the perfect place for a night's bivouac, lulled by the roar of the waterfalls.

The Cabouy chasm, located near Gramat, is a vast resurgence that marks the birth of the Ouysse. It is one of the most famous cave diving sites in the Lot: the submerged galleries extend for several kilometers and are only accessible to specialized divers. The site is easily accessible on foot, and even without diving, you can observe the impressive entrance to the chasm and the typical environment of the causse.

The Ouysse is a river that flows underground for most of its course. It reaches Lacave through the deep canyons carved along its path. As you follow its path towards Rocamadour, you'll find yourself caught between the cliffs that form its canyon. Old fortified mills mark the route, sometimes clinging to the rocks of the cliffs.
