リヴェルノンでののおすすめグラベルライド

Nice ride with some steep climbs

The Cazelle du Puy is a restored dry-stone hut located on the heights of Grèzes. It once served as a shelter for shepherds and farmers working on the plateau. It is easily reached on foot from the village, through a landscape typical of the Lot.

The Peyrefitte menhir, located on the Issendolus plateau, is a limestone block nearly two meters high, erected during the Neolithic period. Listed as a historic monument, it was probably part of a group of landmarks or ritual sites. Easily accessible, it is now located along the road, in a typical Quercy landscape.

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.

The Benedictine monastery of Marcilhac is now only a ruin, but is still absolutely worth seeing. Only remnants remain (12th century). Several imaginatively designed Romanesque capitals can be admired in the chapter house.

There is something magical about looking out over the valley and cliffs from the vantage point at the top of the road leading into the village.

In the town there is a large former Augustinian abbey from the 13th century: Notre-Dame de Val Paradis, which is worth a visit (a historic monument since 1925). It is already the third foundation (first foundation in 1169).
