The path leaves Cahors and heads southwest through rolling Quercy countryside. The terrain is gentle with farmland and occasional woodland.
The landscape is pastoral and quiet, with stone farmhouses, walnut orchards, and the distinctive pigeonniers (dovecotes) that are a feature of this region's architecture. Dovecote ownership was once a privilege of the nobility, and the elaborate structures reflect their owners' status.
Lascabanes is a tiny hamlet with a simple gite and a church. The small scale of the settlement is typical of the Quercy countryside.
