A lovely, varied walk. It starts on flat ground alongside the Isle, then crosses the valley before climbing up into the hillsides. There are several sweeping views and charming paths through the woods, which are well worth the few tarmac sections required to reach them.

An easy walk through the farmland of the Brantôme region. A very pleasant stretch through the woods, with very few roads and plenty of paths along the edges of fields and woods. The first three kilometres consist of a long, straight path in open country with the Route d’Angoulême in the background; the rest of the route is more peaceful.

A peaceful walk through the gentle hills of central Périgord. Unobstructed views, a few lovely shaded paths, some charming houses, strawberry patches and walnut trees – though there is a fair amount of tarmac on the roads, which fortunately see little traffic.

A lovely, slightly challenging walk (in terms of distance and elevation gain) but well worth the effort. Charming paths through the woods, unobstructed views, beautiful old and modern houses, with uphill, downhill and flat sections!

No major points of interest on this circular route, apart from the charming little church in Saint-Séverin. Peace and quiet, peace and quiet, peace and quiet, and birdsong! A succession of quiet country lanes and fire tracks for the first, longer section. The final stretch between the two villages is more varied. Option to shorten the route.

A pleasant and rather varied hike that allows you to discover the landscapes of this part of the central Périgord and the valley where the Caudeau river has its source. There are a few sections of tarmac, but they are not very busy.

A beautiful hike that can be adapted to suit your preferences (shorter or longer variants, return trips to viewpoints). Lots of pleasant paths in the woods, few roads. Numerous viewpoints, a castle, springs, a pond...

A long, peaceful hike in the Barade National Forest (barradaen occitan: closed): calm, wind in the branches, birdsong... It mainly follows firebreaks, with few roads. Moderate elevation gain.

A beautiful hike that leads to Lake Isaby via the ruins of Saint-Orens Abbey and the Isaby Valley. A pleasant trail, sometimes steep, mostly in the forest before coming out onto the lake and the surrounding peaks (Soum and Pic de Léviste, Soum Arrouy, Soum de Lascours).

A beautiful, little-known hike offering superb 360° views from Léviste to Pibeste via Luz, Bergons, Gavarnie and Viscos. The climb is steep but not difficult, and your thighs will feel the burn on the descent. There is a loop variant starting lower down (Saligos) and returning via Coueylas.

A beautiful hike covering many kilometres but with little elevation gain. Pleasant paths between low walls and woods, especially after the hamlet of Beauzens. Interesting village, churches, castle, hamlet of Beauzens, stele.

A fairly long but easy hike: the slopes are gentle and the elevation gain is moderate. There are some beautiful wooded sections, mainly towards the end, and a few views of the rolling countryside, but there are also some paved sections that can be a bit long.

A lovely, varied walk along pleasant paths through the woods, featuring beautiful buildings, a few scenic views, a stream and villages. It consists of three adjoining circular loops and can therefore be shortened as desired.

A lovely walk with many pleasant sections and several points of interest: castle, church, Calvary, memorials.

A lovely walk with plenty of views, pleasant paths and some beautiful houses. The Occitan name for the village is Mencinhac.

A walk with no particular points of interest, apart from distant views of two castles, but the paths through the woods are pleasant. There are numerous sections on roads, though these are quiet. It is possible to shorten the route towards the end.

A pleasant walk with wooded sections and views over the rolling countryside south of Périgueux. A few steep sections.

A lovely, varied walk with views, castles, a dolmen, information boards and very pleasant paths. There is the option of taking a shortcut towards the end.

A very pleasant eight-shaped hike with two successive circular loops: wooded paths, few roads, châteaux.

A lovely walk with plenty of heritage sites to discover: a castle, a feudal motte, a cluzeau and a peat bog. There are also views over the Crempse valley.

Starting from Beauregard-et-Bassac, a short circular route with little elevation gain that is more like a pleasant stroll than a proper hike. Passes by the Peyrelevade dolmen.

A lovely walk, highlighted by the harmonious and peaceful Priory of Merlande, as well as the Domaine des Landes and beautiful paths through the woods.

A pleasant and varied walk. The first section is wooded with lovely paths. The second section is more open, offering views of the village and the Vern Valley, which takes its name from the Occitan word ‘vernha’ meaning ‘alder’.

A beautiful view of Villamblard and Pouyol Castle; you pass through two hamlets, and for the rest of the way it’s woods, woods, woods. Few roads but plenty of tracks. Sometimes a bit monotonous...

A pleasant walk with few roads, fairly gentle climbs, charming, shaded paths and three castles.
