This day calls for a gentle start. Just after Cajarc you climb out of the Lot valley, and you’ll feel it in your legs for a while. Once you’re up top, the walking becomes easy. It’s a light stage of about 19 kilometres, with no big surprises.
The landscape changes as you go. The valley is green and open, while on the causse it becomes drier and quieter. You walk past low oak copses and stone walls, along chalky paths with little shade. It’s easy going, and you’ll be there in a little over 5 hours. Limogne-en-Quercy appears without any fuss. You walk into the village, put your rucksack down and look for a chair in the shade.
