Lamothe-Fénelon walks

An easy short loop starting from Lamothe-Fénelon with a mix of roads, tracks and rolling terrain, with a good number of mills along the Ruisseau du Tournefeuille.

This route, with its varied landscapes, will allow you to enjoy the bucolic setting of the Ribeyrone valley, the wooded solitude of Le Mal Perdu and, finally, the rural architecture of the authentic village of Masclat with its castle and wash houses.

Pretty route starting through mixed woodland with frequent good views, then climbing to a stunning viewpoint over the Dordogne valley. Mostly fairly gently undulating, with one short but steep descent, and then a steep climb just before the best viewpoint. Mainly on well-marked and defined woodland paths with some bits on very quiet country lanes.

A circular loop to the east of the village of Carlux, mostly shaded, with magnificent views, small valleys of remarkable tranquillity, and beautiful Périgord houses. Not to be missed if you have two hours to spare.

Route on the heights of Souillac, towards the Marjaudes and Présignac viaducts. A very pleasant hike in spring and early summer, with its diverse and varied flora, panoramic views, birdsong, shaded and varied passages and peaceful walks.

After taking a quiet road and a forest path, you will admire the church, the castle and then the narrow streets of the old port. Following the Dordogne to the old railway bridge, the greenway takes you back to the starting point.

Easy hike passing by the small11th and16th century church of Carsac with the possibility of swimming in the Dordogne.

A beautiful hike from Belcastel to Bastit, returning via the village of Meyraguet. This walk can be done in sunny weather, as much of it is in the forest. You can admire the L'Ouysse valley below. After crossing the road at (2), head towards the magnificent village of Le Bastit on the banks of the Dordogne, overlooked by its castle. The return journey is along a path overlooking the Dordogne. No difficulty, just a slight incline.

A route taking us up to the heights of Le Vigan en Quercy (Lot-46) Leaving the village and its narrow streets, we gradually climb along small roads and paths to the hamlet of Gamoutou. Winding our way from valley to ridge, passing numerous streams and their mills, we discover beautiful views of the surrounding countryside.

Walk first along a greenway (cycle and footpath) and return along the Dordogne and Château de Montfort before returning via the greenway.

A beautiful walk along the Dordogne and the surrounding cliffs. The start and finish are in the picturesque village of Saint-Sozy. The outward journey is along the cliff overlooking the Dordogne and offers magnificent views of Belcastel, Lacave, Le Bougayrou and Saint-Sozy. The return trip from the pretty village of Blanzaguet offers access to numerous caves before reaching the banks of the Dordogne, where you can take a dip.

A very pleasant route for the whole family, with no difficulty at all. The route is situated in the valley between Meyronne and the Dordogne. You can see the old kiln of a very old tile works, with its manor house at the edge of the hamlet of Laborie; then we arrive at Port de Creysse where, in summer, a boat can take you across the Dordogne. The return journey takes you through walnut groves in the valley.

Starting from the Col de Magès, a circular route that takes you to the Gouffre de Cabouy and the Gouffre Saint-Sauveur. The resurgences are most spectacular to see in winter, spring and autumn when the water flow is greater, and on a day with clear skies, which will give beautiful colours to the gushing waters. But it’s different every time, so the best thing is still to go and discover them for yourself. Unfortunately, there is an 800-metre stretch along the road that cannot be avoided without a major detour, but the rest of the walk takes you along paths through some very beautiful, quiet spots.

Circular route through the countryside between the village of Baladou and the hamlet of La Garrigue.

A walk in the Dordogne passing through four charming little villages. YellowPR® markings along almost the entire route. Option to shorten the route at point (6).

This circular offers a rural walk through green countryside between meadows and walnut groves. You will pass Moulin de la Borie, Château de la Roussie, along the Enéa river and a myriad of lakes. The stone houses with their slate roofs are full of charm.

Half road, half path. Superb views. Crossing Aurimont, a typical village with stone houses and slate roofs.
