Circuit de Lolmie
This walk between the Lendou valley and the plateau offers an interesting contrast between the views of mixed farming practiced by farmers, including that of the Quercy melon, and the Mediterranean vegetation of this corner of Quercy Blanc.
Melons from the Cucurbitaceae family are rarely as bursting with flavor as in Quercy. More than the variety, it seems that it is the terroir that makes the difference. The clay-limestone hillside soils of the south of the Lot benefit from an excellent water retention capacity. In addition, the clay sheets have the ability to transmit mineral elements to the plant, promoting a great richness of perfumes.
Go equipped with suitable shoes and waterproof clothing, protect yourself from the sun, bring water and find out about the weather conditions.
With your back to the church door, go down along the cemetery. Continue left to the stream. Go along it, keeping it on your left, to the hamlet “Le Causse Bas”. Arrive at the road, turn left to a crossroads.
At this one, turn right, at the next intersection, turn left.
Before the place called “Lasfargues”, fork to the right, continue on a path bordered by fields and which goes up to the top of the hill. Leave a path on your left and continue to progress towards the summit skirting the fields.
Arrive on a wide path, follow it to the right. At a fork, after skirting the fields, turn right. Cross the D 28 and take it opposite. Continue on the left path to reach Timbaut mill. Pass it on the right.
Turn right before a house. Go back down into the undergrowth. Arrive at the road, turn right, then immediately left to reach Lolmie.
