Boucle de la Chapelle Saint-Dulcet

Park in the car park along theRoute de Saint-Dulcet (D132E4), before it crosses the Route de Boisse.

(S/E) Head west along Route deSaint-Dulcet. Pass the fishing pond and then the swimming pool on your left and continue along Route de Meilhards. Before a sharp left turn in the road, take a path that branches off to the right (yellow arrow).

(1) At the fork that appears shortly afterwards, take the path on the right (red cross; ignore the one on the left towards the Chapelle Saint-Dulcet). Continue for a long time, heading generally north-west. Cross the hamlet of Ciblac and rejoin the tarmac road.

(2) At the T-junction, follow the road to the left. At the next junction, marked with a stone cross, turn left towards Château de Lafarge.

(3) Just after the sign for Impasse de la Farge, leave the lane and go around Château de Lafarge (private property) on the right. When you reach a farmhouse, turn right and then left to go around it. Then turn left and walk along a pond on your right.

(4) Cross the stream flowing from the pond and go up a path heading south-west. Stay on the main path, which turns left further on. Pass a long building at a place called La Basse Porte.

(5) You will arrive at Route de Meilhards. Follow it to the left. After about 50 metres, leave the road and turn left onto a forest path.

(6) After about 600 metres, turn left and you will immediately reach the Saint-Dulcet Chapel.

(7) Retrace your steps.

(6) Continue east-northeast on the main path.

(1) At the fork you took on the way there, turn right. You will immediately rejoin the Route de Meilhars. Follow it to the left and, taking the same path you took on the way there, return to the car park (S/E).

Don't leave Chamberet without visiting the village church's treasure, in particular the magnificent 13th-century enamelled shrine depicting the burial ofSaint Dulcet.

Saint Dulcet Chapel. This charming open chapel owes its unusual appearance to its history: destroyed during the Revolution, only part of the roof was rebuilt. The low walls that serve as seats show the location of the old foundations. Dulcet or Dulcide is a saint, bishop of Agen in the 5th century. In 930, his relics, fleeing the Norman invasions, arrived in the church of Chamberet, where he became the patron saint."
