Truffles, wine and the dry-stone walls of former vineyard plots give Campagnac-lès-Quercy a distinctive character. Romanesque features, historic village architecture and marked trails add to its appeal. When choosing accommodation, one simple question can help: should your trip focus mainly on culinary events, traces of the past or outdoor activities?
Discover local truffles and wine
The truffle is one of Campagnac-lès-Quercy’s emblematic crops. The Fête de la Truffe includes an award-winning truffle market, opportunities to meet truffle growers and a guided walk through truffle groves. A truffle menu featuring local produce is also available, exclusively by reservation. The menu and other arrangements may vary from one edition to the next. If you want to plan your trip around the festival, check the dates and reserve the menu in good time.
Domaine Chante l’Oiseau offers another culinary discovery. Located in the IGP “Vin de Domme” area, the estate grows only white grape varieties, including Chardonnay, Viognier and Sauvignon. Free individual tours with wine tasting are offered in 2026. They are available by prior appointment only. It is therefore best to plan the tasting as a scheduled activity rather than a spontaneous visit.
Church and château: traces of different periods
The church of Saint-Cyr-et-Sainte-Julitte was rebuilt in 1880 on the foundations of a Romanesque church roofed with stone slabs. Its visible features include Romanesque foundations, a narrow Romanesque opening and the outline of a burial niche in the north wall. Two chapels are dedicated respectively to the Virgin Mary and to Saints Cyr and Julitte; the church also contains popular-style altarpieces. A celebrant’s chair dating from the 18th century is listed as a protected historic object. It was listed on 11 December 1998.
A different trace of the past can be found at the château: a window from the late 15th century survives in the west gable. Visitors who enjoy looking closely at individual architectural features will find two distinct points of interest: the Romanesque remains and later alterations to the church, and the surviving window at the château.
Compare Causse landscapes and trails
On the Causse near Campagnac-lès-Quercy, dry-stone walls mark the boundaries of former vineyard plots. Gariottes and cayrous also form part of the landscape; they were built over centuries as fields were cleared. Marked trails also lead past local heritage sites, including houses, barns and dovecotes, some dating from the 17th to the 19th century. Along the way, visitors can take in both the agricultural landscape and its built history.
Walks and Nordic walking routes are available in different lengths: the three Nordic walking routes in Campagnac-lès-Quercy are 4, 5 and 9 kilometres long. A longer route between the Causse and the Ségala covers 17 kilometres. The “Circuit des 10 fontaines” is a separate 7-kilometre circular route. It should not be confused with the “Boucle des fontaines, sur les pas d’Yves le sourcier”: this route starts in Campagnac-lès-Quercy, is 8 kilometres long and is rated moderate, with a duration of 2 hours and 20 minutes. The loop is marked in blue; in places, its markings overlap with yellow PDIPR markings. The distance and duration help distinguish these two similarly named fountain routes.
There is also a specific option for a bike ride: a 19-kilometre mountain biking stage starts at the hiking trailhead and passes through Florimont-Gaumier on its way to Bouzic. It offers a different way to explore the area from the signposted walking loops.
