This beautiful Voie Verte (Greenway), created in 2008, 2009 and 2010, connects Villeneuve-sur-Lot to Casseneuil. It follows the footprint of two old railway lines on the outskirts of Villeneuve-sur-Lot and at the entrance to Casseneuil. Between these two sections, it is a pretty path that was created along the stream "La Masse".

A former medieval stronghold, the village is officially labeled among the Most Beautiful Villages of France. Stone, brick, and half-timbered facades surround the market hall and the central square. The village houses the Collegiate Church of Saint-Nicolas, whose tower-belfry serves as a fortified gateway to the town, as well as the Church of Sainte-Foy, adorned with remarkable 16th-century frescoes. Sections of ramparts and old gates bear witness to its past as an Albigensian stronghold.

Be careful, there is a footbridge that serves as a cycle path, but its width is limited and does not allow pedestrians and cyclists to cross. It is unthinkable to use it with an electric bike with 70 cm handlebars... It is better to ride on the bridge, especially since there is a road sign authorizing cyclists at the entrance to the bridge... It seems that not all motorists know this sign.
