Bread oven route in Bétaille
This walk will introduce you to a charming village, which you’ll leave behind for a circular route offering varied landscapes, from the Dordogne valley plain towards the Lot hills and the pretty hamlet of Plagne. A long, gentle descent will delight you with views of the cliffs of the “Rivière Espérance” and the Gallic oppidum of Uxellodunum at Vayrac.You’ll then walk alongside walnut groves before returning to the narrow streets of the village centre, the fountain and washhouse, its bustling centre with its shops, and the old wine press.
Entre Palsou et Dordogne
This walk will take you through a pretty village, its lively centre with shops, the old wine press, the fountain-wash house, the church... You’ll leave the village for a circular route offering varied scenery, from the banks of the “River of Hope” towards the hills of the hamlets of Laborie and Chapou; a gentle descent will bring you back to the Palsou and the Bétaille plain. We’ll follow the old water channel that once fed a watermill; we’ll cross our beloved Palsou once more near the school to return to the village...
The Bétaille plain
This walk will take you through a pretty village, its lively centre with shops, the old wine press, the fountain-wash house, etc. We’ll leave the village for a circular walk through the Bétaille plain and its walnut groves, as well as the banks of the River Espérance, the Ragou! We’ll rejoin the Palsou to follow its most scenic stretch, then take the old irrigation canal to the watermill before returning to the village.
