A better understanding of the local geological history means a better understanding of the Causses du Quercy! Discover the Park from a different angle thanks to its network of GeoSites*…
Geology is everywhere!
Over and above spectacular geological sites, geology is also a part of the scenery in the Causses, in its dry stone walls, in the architecture of its villages and in its farmland.
GeoSites in the Causses du Quercy
The Park promotes its geological heritage through its network of “GeoSites”. That name covers a variety of sites where you can see the traces left behind in the local landscape and gain a better understanding of the geological phenomena at work in the Causses du Quercy.
This network now counts around a dozen sites which offer guided or self-guided tours and will gradually expand over time.
