GR®620 Horizons and bell towers of Rouergue
From St Come d'Olt to Inieres (Aveyron)
The GR620 begins in the Lot Valley and climbs towards the vast expanses of the Causse Comtal plateau. The trail winds through a land of passage and faith, intersecting the routes of the Camino de Santiago and linking ancient medieval lordships. The architectural heritage is abundant: from twisted spires (shaped like flames) to robust Romanesque churches, each village along the way tells a story of stone and resilience. The path offers a fascinating transition between the gentle banks of the Lot River and the stark limestone of the plateau. The landscapes are composed of "clapas" (piles of stones), fertile sinkholes, and pastures dotted with traditional cazelles (small stone huts). Hikers traverse an ecosystem of dry grasslands, a haven for wild orchids and birds of prey such as the short-toed eagle. The approach to Inières reveals an imposing fortified church, a symbol of the protection afforded to rural populations in centuries past.
