Hiking
A fenced meadow with two restored casselles surrounded by traditional dry stone walls. These dry stone huts and walls are common in the Quercy region north of the Lot valley. They were used in the late 18th century and the 19th century by the local (sheep) farmers. Sometimes they served as a chicken coop, sometimes as a storage place for tools and sometimes as a shelter for the animals. The two casselles in this meadow have been very well restored and, in addition to sights, also provide good hiding places.
