The stream

du Tolerme

This stream rises at an altitude of 650 metres in Labastide-du-Haut-Mont, the highest point in the Lot, some ten kilometres to the east! The streams of the Ségala are home to a whole ecosystem that’s worth preserving. In this low mountain region, the waters are in constant effervescence, cascading vigorously between granite boulders and wooded valleys.
