Circular via Le Bugue and the countryside

This circular mainly takes you around the pretty village of Le Bugue, in the heart of the Vézère valley in the Périgord Noir. You will take paths to reach the entrance to Campagne and return to Le Bugue using part of the "La Vézère à vélo" greenway, which runs alongside the river.
