A lovely place full of history! We walked along a white path and observed these buildings in a beautiful landscape!

These wells are aligned on a geological fold characterized by a layer of impermeable clay located under the outcropping limestone. Each well is built above a "cistern" dug into the rock. The wells are therefore independent of each other. The "cisterns" are filled in two ways: by vertical infiltration of rainwater and by lateral flow of water. Here we can see the determination and ingenuity of the Caussenards to capture water that is particularly rare in the region.

Lalbenque is a commune that is part of the regional natural park of the Causses du Quercy. One of its riches is truffles. The main avenue of the small town (rue du marché aux truffles) leaves no room for ambiguity. On the territory of the commune, there are very beautiful wash houses, castles and also gariottes (dry stone huts used as sheepfolds).

Owned by the Community of Communes of the Pays de Lalbenque, the Grèzes truffle field is managed by the Lalbenque truffle growers' union, which organizes digging demonstrations there with a pig or a trained dog. The truffle field is a place for technical experiments led by the truffle station of the Montat vocational school. It plays a role as a space for technical meetings and training for truffle growers in the region.

The built heritage of Vaylats, with its convent of the Sisters of Notre-Dame du Calvaire and its Saint-Barthélemy church, blends harmoniously into the natural setting of the Causses du Quercy. Surrounded by typical landscapes with its dry lawns and dry stone walls, these monuments bear witness to the spiritual and architectural history of the village while inviting a quiet discovery in the heart of a preserved environment.
