La Guirandolle loop in Eygurande-Gardedeuilh
A trail in the heart of the Double Forest that winds through woods and paths, crossed here and there by a small stream. Ponds will appear as you walk along. A very shaded trail, ideal for families as there is little road.
The two locks from Le Pizou
This route combines history with nature: much of the walk follows the River Isle.
Also worth visiting: the Coly forges, a testament to a major industrial and steel-making industry, and the Monument de la Plaine, a historic site from the Second World War.
Madeleine des Brandes circular to Moulin Neuf
A pleasant walk through woods and fields. Along the way, you’ll discover the very pretty Madeleine des Brandes Chapel, a place of worship dedicated to Saint Mary Magdalene. A famous pilgrimage used to take place in the woods until just a few years ago.
Circular route around the Étangs du Jard in Saint-Barthélémy-de-Bellegarde
A lovely circular route exploring the Double Forest, with some elevation changes. The beautiful Jard ponds are well worth a visit.
Échourgnac circular loop
A lovely country walk through unspoilt countryside. Along the way, you will discover the Étangs de la Double ponds, which provide a wild and unspoilt refuge for animals. Take a break at the Cistercian Abbey of Notre-Dame de Bonne Espérance and enjoy the famous "Trappe Échourgnac" cheese.
La Salvatorienne in Saint-Sauveur-Lalande
La Salvatorienne, named after the inhabitants of Saint-Sauveur-Lalande, invites you to discover the Landais Forest located south of the Montponnais region. Don't miss the church, a real architectural gem!
Circular route from Vauclaire to Montpon-Ménestérol
The Vauclaire circular route allows you to discover this place steeped in history. Largely set in woodland, it is a very pleasant walk , but be careful: a few short sections are quite technical. It offers lovely views of the Chartreuse.
Gentle hiking in Montpon-Ménestérol
This route takes you along the Isle river, using the footpath on the Pont de Ménesplet, Marcillac and Vauclaire bridges, passing by the Chandos leisure centre. The footpath is designed to provide continuous pedestrian access along a stream or river. This footpath, which follows the old towpath, allows you to immerse yourself in protected natural surroundings.
