Moulin de Pincanelle circular

Circular starting from Roquépine-Sainte-Radegonde via Saint-Léon d'Issigeac. Lots of countryside, a little forest. A ford to cross in winter. Birdsong. Perhaps 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.
