Immerse yourself in the rugged beauty and rich history of Occitanie as you embark on an unforgettable gravel adventure from Cahors to Rocamadour. This early June journey begins beneath the shadow of Pont Valentré, a 14th-century bridge steeped in legend, before winding through limestone plateaus known as causses—rolling hills, dry-stone walls, and ancient shepherd huts dotting your path. The route mixes small country roads with forest tracks and technical sections, offering an ideal playground for gravel enthusiasts. Whether you choose the 60 km discovery loop or the full 450 km ultra format, each distance promises stunning scenery and challenging terrain that will test both body and spirit. The Quercy causses present a mix of rolling plateaus, deep valleys, and punchy climbs, ensuring every pedal stroke is memorable. This event eschews competition in favor of camaraderie, with no official rankings or times—just the freedom to ride at your own pace. Base camps are set up in Rocamadour and Saint-Cirq-Lapopie for rest, meals, and group accommodation, allowing you to fully embrace the bikepacking spirit. After a day's effort, reward yourself with Cahors wine and local cuisine that perfectly complements the region’s charm. Explore Figeac’s Place des Écritures, home to a replica of the Rosetta Stone, or take a boat ride through Padirac Chasm for an unforgettable underground adventure. Lot of Gravel welcomes riders on all types of bikes—gravel, MTB, cyclocross, and e-bike alike—and ensures respect for this unique landscape with exceptional access permissions. Experience the true essence of Occitanie one pedal stroke at a time.
