An abandoned village
If you'd like to combine a hike with a visit to an unusual place steeped in history, we recommend a walk not far from Miers, a village located between Rocamadour and the Gouffre de Padirac. It's from Miers that you'll find one of the starting points for a very special hike, the "Dolmens de Miers" trail, which has been given this name quite simply because the region has traces of human occupation dating back to the Palaeolithic period, with a large number of Neolithic tombs and dolmens, making the Lot one of the French departments with the most burial mounds.
