The Ganil towpath: Carved into the limestone cliff rock in 1845, it once allowed horses to tow barges up the Lot river. Between 1985 and 1989, the artist Daniel Monnier sculpted an impressive bas-relief here, representing local fauna and flora. The path connects Bouziès to Saint-Cirq-Lapopie over about 4 to 5 km of easy walking.
