Circuit de Creyssens

from THE BOULVE
That's it THE BOULVE
Duration 02:30
Difficulty Easy
Distance 8km
Denivele 186m

From the heart of a fertile valley, the circuit will take you to the heights of Quercy Blanc, where a view is offered to you on a wide panorama.

The intensity of the light, the heat of the summers and the limestone soils that he particularly likes only partially explain the omnipresence of the pubescent oak in the south of Quercy.

The other reason is its natural tendency to reoccupy abandoned land. Where pastoral activity declines as was the case in the Lot at the end of the XNUMXth century, it quickly occupies the land thanks to the involuntary help of the jay of the oaks and the red squirrel.

Difficulty

Go equipped with suitable shoes and waterproof clothing, protect yourself from the sun, bring water and find out about the weather conditions.
