Trees and heritage

Through this trail, you will learn, again with the help of QRcodes, all the specifics of trees and heritage.

It’s a total immersion in the natural atmosphere of the Caussian Mountains. Look up, be curious; listen to the birds singing, the buzzing of the bees; let yourself be surprised by the colors and smells of the nature! On your way back, take the time to visit Espédaillac, elected the most welcoming village in the Lot in 2019!
