Le sentier karstique de l’igue de Crégols

From the car park, take the D8 to the right for a few meters. Cross the road and take the path that descends under the road towards the Lot (information panel “Espace Naturel Sensible” on the resurgence of Crégols). A little further on, a sign indicates access to the resurgence of Crégols . Retrace your steps and take the path to the right. It passes over the resurgence. Take the first path on the left which climbs rapidly towards the road. >> Long easy variant: possibility of going straight along the D8 for 200 m then taking the path that goes up to point 2. Head towards the village and immediately take the first path uphill on the right. It joins a small paved road which descends. It takes you to the village road which you take on the right going up to the level of the cemetery.

Leave the road by taking the path on the right which runs along the wall of the cemetery. First flat, it quickly begins to climb the hill. Once on the ridge, you reach another path, at the edge of which opens a chasm (platform above the phosphatière). Continue the path on the left (return possible on the right to a beautiful viewpoint over the Lot). Continue the path to enjoy the view over the Bournac valley.

At the next crossroads, turn left. The path meanders over the forest ridge then goes sharply to the left. 100 m further, go right and take the path surrounded by dry stone walls. Leave the cross paths, pass in front of a "gariotte" on your right and you come out on a cross path.

Turn left, follow the path for about 700 m (caselle on the right) and take a dirt road on the left. Take a path on the right, which passes near an old ruin and brings you to the edge of the igue de Crégols .

Continue to bypass the igue to the right, and take a path that descends to the right into a small dry valley. Continue your descent which leads you on a track then on a tarmacked road which brings you back to the village passing by the cemetery and along a dovecote.
