Les Causses de Quercy, land of limestone and sunshine, crisscrossed by the cool and wooded valleys of the Rivers Lot and Célé. A wild and secret countryside, dotted with "Cayrous" (shepherds huts) and dry-stone pens.
And how, we might ask, did the ancient builders achieve such feats as those of Rocamadour, perched high upon its stupendous cliffs?
Where does the river lead that flows through the Gouffre de Padirac? Passing below St Cirq Lapopie, one of the most beautiful villages of France, past the prehistoric caves of Pech-Merle, it meanders through some of the most beautiful sites created by Nature or by Man : cliffs, caves, rocky outcrops, castles, manor houses, fortified villages, churches, chapels... without forgetting the innumerable treasures of our country heritage, farms, barns, dovecotes and "cazelles" (dry-stone shepherds huts).
