Moulin de Pincanelle circular

A circular starting from Sainte-Radegonde in Roquepine via Saint-Léon-d'Issigeac. Lots of countryside, a few forests. A ford to cross in winter. Birdsong, a deer, landscapes everywhere. A few small roads, with almost no cars. And then the ruins of the Moulin de Pincanelle after the Bois de Bayard.

Description of the walk

Park in the car park on the edge of the D19, not far from the town hall of Sainte-Radegonde.

(S/E) With your back to the information board, take the path on the right until you reach the road.

(1) Follow the road in the same direction, pass Fonvive and continue to the crossroads. Take the road on the left and walk for about 150 m.

(2) Take the path on the right and follow it to Faurilles. 100 metres from the first buildings, continue along the path on the left and join the departmental road, opposite the town hall.

(3) Take the D19e on the right, pass in front of the church and turn onto the first road on the left towards Minjou and the Bois de Bayard. Follow the road that goes around Minjou, then, at a small pond on the right, continue straight ahead on a path that winds through the Bois de Bayard. After a short descent, you will arrive at the Bournègue ford.

(4) Cross it (boots are essential for much of the year) and go up the path opposite. Go around the ruins of the Moulin de Pincanelle and then continue straight ahead, first on the path and then on the road, to reach Saint-Léon-d'Issigeac at the junction with the D23.

(5) Turn left, follow the road and cross the village, continuing straight ahead at the crossroads. Leave the church and cemetery on your left, then keep left at the fork to follow the road towards Issigeac and leave the village.

(6) Take the road on the left towards Veyrière, go to the right-hand bend and leave the road for a path on the left. Pass under the power line and reach a fork at a fountain.

(7) Leave the path leading to Chamissou on your right, reach Gayrac and turn left at the first intersection. You will arrive at Route de Faurilles.

(8) Cross over and take the path opposite, which leads to Mique.

(9) In the hamlet, take the first path on the left. Keep left at the three-way junction, cross the Bois de Lama and continue to Route de Noël.

(10) Turn right, continue for 100 m and take the path on the left. Cross the Pissarot, rejoin the tarmac road and pass the hamlet of Papou before returning to the car park (S/E).
