That's it LABASTIDE MARNHAC
Duration 03:00
Difficulty Easy-to-use
Distance 10.5km
Denivele 150m

Stroll in the Quercy Blanc which around the theme of the 'Chemin de St Jacques de Compostelle' allows you to discover three villages and their churches.

Limestone, the south of the Lot? Not only. The soil of Quercy Blanc is also made of clay. This finer material, resulting from the decomposition of other rocks, has the particularity of retaining water and being waterproof and sticky. In Labastide-Marnhac, the starting point for this walk, it is sometimes said that the earth is in love because it is difficult to peel off the foot that has trod on it. Above all
after the rain. The reason is that it is rich in clay. In geological language, the natural mixture of limestone and clay is called marl.

Difficulty

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