Leaving L'Hospitalet you pass along the road marked 'Au Fond de la Cote' which leads you to the main street through the city of Rocamadour via the Porte du Figuier.
As you leave the city, the road tilts downward and you make your way towards the L'Alzou river. Following the path along the river you will enjoy some lush forest and greenery. The road then brings you to Croix du Crouzol and here you take the route to the left that follows onto the banks of the L'Ouyesse river. Staying close to the river on the smaller of the roads you continue your journey towards Moulin de Caoulet and then on to Moulin de Cougnaguet.
The path is straightforward from here and continues along the river, passing another moulin on the opposite bank and the small villages of Bourgnou and Verdoire. Eventually, you will reach Lacave, home to the Grottes de Lacave.
Passing along the cliffsides as you leave Lacave, you turn off the main road at the cemetery and enter into dense forest that offers some welcome respite from the sun. When you come to a T-junction take the left road and travel up and towards the end of the runway of the small airport. Skirting the airport you then follow the road to the town of Mayrinhac le Francal.
Passing through the town you make your way south towards the town of Les Alix and eventually back to L'Hospitalet and Rocamadour.
