Eyliac Circular Route

Start from the village of Eyliac. Car park next to the church. Signpost showing local walks. Public toilets. Yellow markings.

(S/E) From the car park, head towards the D6, passing close to the church. At the stop sign, turn right following the markings, then, a few metres further on, turn left near the castle. The path, which goes uphill and then downhill, joins a road (D6E).

(1) Turn right. Continue with care to the next junction and turn left onto Chemin de la Chaloupie.

(2) Follow this path, which goes round the castle to the right, and continue until you reach a path branching off to the left.

(3) Leave the track by taking this path on the left. At the hamlet of La Battue, follow the road to the right and arrive at the D6E junction.

(4) Take a path on the right a few metres after the Stop sign and continue along this path through the woods.

(5) Leave the main track and turn left after a small walnut grove. Turn left again a little further on. When you reach the road, turn left and head down to the main road, leaving the Raffinie alternative route on your left.

(6) At the Stop sign, turn right onto the B-road, then leave it after about fifty metres by turning left twice onto a path running parallel to the road. Then, before reaching a field, turn right onto the path that climbs and runs alongside a fence. At the junction with a larger path, go straight ahead and follow the path along the meadow.

(7) Join a dirt track and head uphill to the Stop sign. Cross the D6 with care, continue straight on towards “Le Puy” and head for the hamlet.

(8) Opposite the castle entrance, turn right onto a path between a fig tree and an unoccupied house (marker is hard to see).

(9) At the next crossroads, leave the road to Saint-Crépin d'Auberoche on your right and turn left towards Eyliac.

(10) At the road, turn right then, immediately left, onto a wide track. Continue along the tarmac road to Eyliac.

(11) At the stop sign by the cemetery, continue straight ahead, then turn left after the football pitch and head for the car park in the village of Eyliac (S/E).

(1) By turning left, you can take a shorter alternative route that leads directly to the hamlet of La Battue
