Limogne-en-Quercy
The Vía Podiensis
Limogne-en-Quercy is the only proper town between Cajarc and Cahors, and after hours of empty causse, it's a welcome sight. This is a genuine market town with bakeries, a grocery store, pharmacy, post office, restaurants, and accommodation.
The Sunday morning market is the main event. In winter, from December to March, Limogne hosts one of the Lot's truffle markets, where Tuber melanosporum changes hands in the traditional style: quiet negotiation, careful weighing, cash. If you're here in truffle season, it's worth timing your walk for a Sunday arrival.
The town sits at the center of the Causse de Limogne, surrounded by the characteristic landscape of dry-stone walls, caselles, and scrubby oak woodland. A marked walking circuit from town takes you past some of the best-preserved caselles in the area.
From Limogne the path continues south across the causse toward Cahors, following sections of the Cami Ferrat through woodland and sparse meadows. The terrain is mostly flat with gentle undulations. Services are scarce until Cahors.
