- Day 1 Arrival Meyronne
- The 3-star Hôtel la Terrasse is an 11th century château set in the heart of a village overlooking the Dordogne. Relax by the pool before dining on the vine-covered terrace.
- Day 2 Day trip from Meyronne - 6 miles (9.6km)
- Take what the French call a ‘mise en jambes’; a short warm up walk along spectacular cliffs with wonderful views, then follow the narrow riverside paths back to the hotel.
- Day 3 Meyronne to Carennac - 13 miles (20.8km)
Head towards the picturesque town of Carennac and up on to the dramatic Causses, the rugged plateau of scrub, gnarled oak and juniper, gradually descending back to river level and the delightful family-run 2-star Hostellerie le Fénelon, with pool.
- Day 4 Day trip from Carennac - 6.5 miles (10.4km)
- It’s worth the effort to reach the pretty village of Mézels for the beautiful views. Or simply spend the day exploring Carennac with its picturesque tiled roofs and art exhibitions.
- Day 5 Carennac to Rocamadour - 14 miles (22.4km)
- Although this is the longest walk, the going is mostly easy, through woods and across open country. Descend into the old medieval town, clinging to the sheer limestone spur, to stay in the characterful Best Western Hôtel Beau Site.
- Day 6 Day trip from Rocamadour - 10 miles (16km)
- Descend steeply into the Alzou Canyon past crumbling watermills. The scenery is absolutely stunning, and there are plenty of photo opportunities before returning to the hotel.
- Day 7 Rocamadour to Meyronne - 8.5-12 miles (13.6-19.2km)
- Return to Meyronne through a charming flat valley winding under cliffs past ancient weirs and watermills. Follow the limestone hills to Meyronne and your final stay at La Terrasse, a firm favourite with our customers.

This entirely restored feudal chateau is reflected in the waters of the Dordogne river. The castle was converted into a Hotel-Restaurant in the late nineteen twenties and Francoise and Gilles Liebus have carried on the work in progress by continually improving its comfort, warmth and refinement. Inside, the charm of the past mingles with the comfort of the present. The chateau, with its significant history, is a charming small hotel with just ten rooms and four suits and a restaurant with a panoramic view. The rooms are decorated in an elegant yet comfortable style, with full bathrooms. There is an outdoor swimming pool set in a shaded pretty garden and a large terrace.
