This Greenway was first opened on the right-of-way of a railway between Condat and the old Fumel station, over 2.3km. Then it was extended to Monsempron-Libos, where it continues with a walk in the Foulon park. It is useful for daily and leisure travel for residents and tourists, and it is an element of the Véloroute de la Vallée du Lot V86, open between Aiguillon and Cahors. In Condat, the Voie Verte extends towards the Château de Bonaguil via an 8km path, the first 1.8km of which are on the Voie Verte. You can go there by road bike without any problems.
