Itinerary :
1 -From the Place de la République, cross the Pont des Consuls, then turn right along the river upstream, from the promenade, towards Figeac.
Cross the Alzou river, go under the railway bridge and take the road opposite
pedestrian access to the Calvary Coast.
2 - Halfway up the hill, 10 m after the very sharp bend, turn right onto the path
tarred (dead-end panel). At the farm, go straight ahead, then leave
the driveway that leads to a beautiful residence to take the path on the right that
goes down to the D 269. Follow the road by the left and take the first
path on the right (Chemin des moulins). At its exit, continue on the
tar for 700 m
3 - After the mill road, take the path on the left (presence of a
from a source at the start) that climbs up through the undergrowth to the plateau. Arriving at the road, turn right and, 400 m further on, turn left onto the ridge path.
4 - The ancient Roman road from Segodunum to Divona (Rodez to Cahors)* is found there
which we follow for 1,200 yards. At the crossroads on the asphalt, take, opposite, the
Route du Calvaire. Arrived at the foot of the mound of the old oppidum, go around
the barrier by the planned passage and follow the path that leads to the cross of the
summit*.
5 -Turn back on your steps to go down towards the church of Saint John
d'Aigremont (Roman bedside table). Go past the church (chicane) and take the small path on the left that will take you back to the Côte du Calvaire and the town.
