   Every year during Spring vacation, the association “Transhumance in Quercy” organizes sheep transhumance between Rocamadour and Luzech. It is the opportunity for a lot of hikers to join the outing which includes 6 halting places.

At lunchtime the sheep-rearers give the participants their products to be tasted (grilled lamb brochettes, cheese, local aperitives etc...) .

There are demonsrations of flock herding by dogs and shepherds along the trail.

Every halting place organizes festivities for the evening.

In 2015 the transhumance started on April 14^th and lasted until April 18h.

Here are a few snapshots from a preceeding transhumance trail.
