parcours

Head east from Gréalou to reach the Pech de Bourrou, amid wild agricultural lands, far from everything. The area is known for its exceptionally clear night skies, perfect for stargazing if you set out with your headlamp. The route is just as enjoyable by day, with open landscapes at the start and varied terrain that becomes more technical with each rolling section. The itinerary is hilly, with gentle inclines and small climbs in succession. After Carayac, ascending to the heights of the village, the horizon opens up and you reach a beautiful viewpoint over the surroundings. Here, you run across a lively plateau shaped by time, offering far-reaching views over the undulations of the Lot. The return takes you via Champ des Granges and the Puy Clavel area, before gradually descending back toward Gréalou, where the forests become more prominent.

“Night” circuit: equipped with reflective trail markers, as it passes through the Pech de Bourrou, renowned for stargazing.

Cani-trail: accessible to all levels. No water points directly along the route.

Trail accessibility : Not accessible for wheelchair users. However, the entire route is accessible to people with hearing, visual, cognitive or mental disabilities, as well as to those with independent mobility, provided they are accompanied, as some sections include narrow trails, fence crossings and road crossings. The route is suitable for all-terrain mobility equipment (joëlette, Hippocampe wheelchair, electric off-road wheelchair/handbike, etc.).
