Among the many walks available in the more or less immediate vicinity of the Moulin du Boisset, there is one that we are particularly fond of: the Moulin du Saut. You can tackle this hike by taking several routes, depending on your level and sporting ability. These range from a simple loop of around 5km starting from the car park near Gramat, to a round trip (14km) starting from the foot of the medieval town of Rocamadour, or a combination of the two for the bravest (around 18km).

Did you know that just 15 minutes' drive from the Moulin du Boisset is the famous village of Collonges-la-Rouge, built entirely with red stone?

These red stones, from quarries that no longer exist, whose colour comes from the iron oxide they contain, are also present at the Moulin. The outside paving is made of them. You can also see them in places on the facade and in larger quantities on the walls of the Chambre Royale. But let's get back to Collonges-la-Rouge.
