Sarting from the bastide of Rudelle, this walk will take you from the Causse to the Limargue with a stop at the Cabrimont spring which back in the 12th C. supplied a leper hospital. Originally, this was just a chapel which had to be fortified to serve as a refuge for the population during the troubles of the Hundred Years' War. This religious edifice was built in the Gothic style (12th C.) and is a perfect example of a fortified church in Quercy. Its architecture is more reminiscent of a keep than of a religious building. Further down, the church proper, oval in shape, consists of a single nave with rib vaulting.

The Lot's character is formed by its 'causses' (limestone plateaux) through which the Lot, Dordogne and Célé valleys have carved their way. It is studded with major tourist attractions and beautiful villages such as Rocamadour, Cahors, Figeac and Saint Cirq Lapopie…. Man and Nature have both left their imprint on the Pech Merle cave and Padirac Chasm. When you're rambling or cycling, the unspoiled, authentic nature of the Lot is plain to see. Home to excellent local produce and fine food and wines, the Lot has many treats to offer your taste buds, including truffles, foie gras, lamb and melons from Quercy, and Cahors Malbec Wine.
