The path is breathtakingly beautiful and leads along the river Le Célé. Parking in Brengues.

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).

This former priory is located in a protected area, nestled between a meander of the Célé and the cliffs that border it. The strong point of the priory is its exceptional bell tower.

This is a really nice segment of the trail that oscillates between cliff views and river views. In fact you benefit from both landscapes at the same time. Lucky guys!

Here, you are overhanging the cliffs, and thus benefit, by turning away slightly from the official path, from an exceptional view of the village of Espagnac Sainte-Eulalie.

Nestled in a meander of the Célé left bank, Espagnac Sainte-Eulalie is a small village that houses a beautifully preserved priory, the Val Paradis priory. In addition to the beautiful cliffs that surround it, the village has retained a particular tranquility.

Former possession of the Barasc family from the eleventh to the sixteenth century, then of Narbonnes, and finally of Lostanges, the seigniory of Béduer dominated for a time all the territory between Lot and Célé and rivaled the abbey of Figeac. Today it is a pleasant village, the official starting point of the GR 651.

During the Hundred Years War, the English kings of that time tried to extend their influence over France. To do this, they used mercenaries, who were called "Les Anglaises". These later became robber barons who built castles in the rock walls of the Célé valley, which were only a few meters deep but up to 90 meters wide. Even today, these castles are only accessible by narrow rocky paths. There are castles in Espagnac and Vers. The largest English castle was built in the rock faces of Cabrerets.
