Brive-la-Gaillarde walks

A short walk on the outskirts of Brive-la-Gaillarde in a pretty woodland setting, half of which is off the beaten track and half of which is on the road.

A lovely walk, partly through woodland and partly in sunny open country. Very little road walking. Please note that the route does not pass through the Travassac slate quarry, which is a paid attraction.

A mostly shaded hike crossing the "Maumont Blanc" and "Maumont Noir" streams. Hike marked in yellow from Donzenac.

A route mainly following fairly shaded paths starting from Donzenac.

Wooded circular from the rugby stadium to the banks of the Roanne.

Route starting from Donzenac offering a view of the Travassac slate quarry and following part of the Resistance route with the Trou aux Loups and Chat Huant shelters.

A five-minute walk from Brive and Malemort along the streams that feed the Barrage de la Couze dam. A shaded route through the woods, with the only drawback being a slightly steep hill on a tarmac road. You will pass three old mills, which are no longer in use but reflect the life of yesteryear. PLEASE NOTE: deforested area between points 3 and 4, impassable in wet weather.

A beautiful hike around the Biou and Couze rivers, which flow into Lake Couze. Very shady, it passes four mills, some of which have been restored but are no longer in operation. The gradient is sometimes a little steep, but it's worth it. Please note: there is a deforested area between points (5) and (6), which is impassable in wet weather.

The route is marked in yellow from Sainte-Féréole. It follows paths and small roads with little traffic.

This route, based on the theme of the Blagour de Chasteaux underground network, allows you to discover the Couze sinkhole, the dry valley of Entrecor, the Jonquilles chasm and the resurgence of underground waters at the source of the Blagour.

A beautiful walk from Jugeals Nazareth to Turenne via Gernes. Magnificent views of Turenne Castle and the cliffs above the Tourmente.

Route near Donzenac along shaded paths. Crossing the Merovingian bridge.

An easy walk through the forest ends at Notre-Dame de Fournet, with a beautiful view of the Couze valley. The route also offers a glimpse of Lake Chasteaux.

This circular route around the limestone hill of Fournet offers a variety of landscapes, both on the side of the Causse lake and the listed village of Chasteaux, and on the north side towards the Vézère valley and the hills of Yssandon, Perpezac-le-Blanc and Saint-Robert. The route takes few paved roads and little-used paths and trails, with the exception of the two kilometres that follow part of the route around the Causse lake.

A short circular walk which, with hardly any paved roads to cross, allows you to discover the two dolmens at La Chassagne and La Palein (along with the associated information boards), to look out over the Cirque de Ladou whilst enjoying the unobstructed view stretching as far as the Puy d’Yssandon and beyond, and to get up close to the ruins of Couzage Castle.

A short, easy walk offering a chance to see typical Quercy architecture.
