Hiking is a simple and authentic pleasure you can enjoy alone or in groups. Just walking, observing the surrounding nature, marvelling at the rich cultural and natural heritage. We are walkers and we are fond of this exceptional rural area located between the Lot valley and the Dordogne valley, with in its heart, the sublime Regional Natural Park of Causses du Quercy, labeled UNESCO World Geospace in 2017. We have selected for you the most beautiful itineraries and we propose stays in a “freedom” formula (without accompaniment) and “all included” (full board), adaptable and evolutive according to your needs and your desires.
The “freedom” style hiking holiday is unaccompanied, adaptable and progressive. You can choose a stay “ready-to-walk” with a program of hiking corresponding to you (see below our proposals of stays) or let us guide you in the choice of circuits. How does it work? Each evening, we select with you, among all the circuits of the region, the best itineraries, adapted to your aptitudes and perfectly marked, according to your centers of interest and the weather of the moment. We exchange on different possibilities, you select the one that suits you and we take care of the rest. We prepare the cards and the meals, you walk unaccompanied and you only have to enjoy your passion, freely.
