GR®652 Rocamadour Way

From Laroquebrou (Cantal) to La Romieu (Gers)

Chemins de Grandes Randonnees

The GR652, a variant of the Camino de Santiago, climbs towards the wooded plateaus of the Quercy region. The heart of the route is Rocamadour, a Marian shrine clinging to its limestone cliff, which has welcomed pilgrims since the Middle Ages. The path then winds through the Causses du Quercy Regional Nature Park, a landscape of dry stone walls, dolmens, and downy oaks, where the silence is broken only by the tinkling of sheep. As it continues southwest, the terrain softens, giving way to the fertile valleys of Lot-et-Garonne and the hills of Gascony. The architectural heritage is exceptional: from charming fortified towns to Romanesque churches, culminating in the magnificent finale at La Romieu, famous for its collegiate church. On the nature side, the hiker crosses varied environments, from the cool gorges of Cantal to the plum orchards of Ente and the vineyards of Gers.
