The Voie verte et véloroute de la Vallée du Lot (V86) is a major, safe cycling route stretching for approximately 430 to 480 km, connecting La Canourgue in Lozère to Aiguillon in Lot-et-Garonne. The route follows the meanders of the Lot river through varied landscapes of limestone cliffs, vineyards, orchards, and causses.

The Saint-Pierre-ès-Liens church of Cavagnac is a parish church of Romanesque origin located in the locality of Cavagnac in the commune of Soturac. Less known than the Saint-Pierre church in the main town of Soturac, it is listed in the General Inventory of the heritage of the Occitanie region for its preserved architecture and its unique sculptures. (Mid-12th century): The majority of the current structure (the choir and the apse) dates back to the Romanesque period. Works (1777): It is at this date that the single nave is fitted with its current groin vaults, while the south portal is remodeled. Enlargement and Fire (1789–1792): Two side chapels (north and south) are added and blessed in February 1789, just before the building suffered a fire in 1792 during the Revolution, forcing the reconstruction of the vault at a lower level. The church is distinguished by a plan typical of small rural sanctuaries in Quercy: A massive bell tower rising 18 meters high. A choir composed of a straight bay under a barrel vault and terminated by a semi-circular cul-de-four apse. Remarkable sculpted capitals located at the entrance to the choir (on the double arch)

Superb place!

The village was born in the 18th century at the will of the Marquis de Biron. It is located just a few minutes' drive from the famous Château de Biron (located in Dordogne), a major "stone giant" of the region, as well as the Château de Gavaudun.

The site is distinguished by its typical architectural charm of the region (between Périgord noir and Quercy): A Romanesque church with a stocky bell tower and a sculpted portal. Ancient frescoes partially preserved inside the monument. An old mill (the Moulin de Saint-Avit), a testament to the historical hydraulic activity of the Lède valley, now converted into a charming domain for accommodation and events.

Crowning a 40-meter-high rocky spur, this 11th-century castle was once a stronghold of heretics and later a key bastion of the Hundred Years' War. It stands out for its unusual rock-hewn entrance and its intact 6-story, 70-meter-high keep, offering an exceptional panorama. The history of Gavaudun Castle spans nearly a millennium, marked by heresies, major medieval sieges, and strategic alliances between Périgord and Agenais.
