2014 did Frances and plan to Le Puy in 2023
I’m doing Cele Variant but taking an overnight visit from Figeac by bus to Racamadour to explore it. Also, would it be worth the same as Rocamadour to take a bus from Figeac to Cajarc and explore it, as well?

Well, Cajarc, is a small pleasant town without any specific pretentions: historical center with small streets and church. Writer Françoise Sagan lived there as a youngster, and President Pompidou and the comedian Coluche had a second residence in the neighborhood.
 
Cajarc, is a small pleasant town

Françoise Sagan (born Françoise Delphine Quoirez) is buried near Cajarc, in the village of Seuzac, 4 km to the west, and off-piste.
Other than that, frankly, there isn't much of interest. It's a nice town to walk to, as you approach it from the top of the cliffs on the northern side of the river Lot, giving you a panoramic view of the town which, as @fransw says is a small pleasant town without any specific pretensions. Good for a stopover, but not worth the detour.
