The hillsides of the Vézère river at the start of Voutezac
A lovely route that takes you from the Saillant Chapel to the Chartroulle Chapel, discovering one of the rare vineyards in Corrèze, on the slopes of the Vézère in the commune of Allassac. A few steep slopes and paths that can be muddy in the rainy season, but a beautiful panorama.
The three mills of Venarsal
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.
The four mills of Venarsal
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.

Crozes fountain
A very pleasant walk through the forest, offering exceptional views of the Objat valley at the end of the route.Best done at the weekend to avoid any disturbance from quarry activities.
User comment on 24 August 2025.(!) After the ruins of Patel, the footbridge (4) that crosses the river has collapsed and it is not possible to ford the river. A detour is signposted on site. This detour takes you to Rouffignac. Alternatively, you can follow "le chemin du Maquis", which is a little technical at at the moment.
Comment from a user on 29 December 2025.The second footbridge (under the ruins of Patel) has been repaired and the path can be followed as indicated.
Canal des Moines
This easy hike will take you along the Canal des Moines in a bucolic, shaded setting, starting from one of the prettiest villages in Corrèze.
The Canal aux Moines and the ruins of the Monastery
A very pleasant hike close to a colossal structure built by the monks of Aubazines in the 12th century. It is a truly exceptional work. This route also allows you to discover the ruins of the Aubazines Women's Monastery.
The Moines Canal skilfully follows the curves of the hill and feeds a reservoir in the abbey enclosure. In the past, the waterfall was used to power the monastery's mill.
The Canal aux Moines, the Hermitage and the Cromlech of Puy de Pauliac
A very pleasant hike close to a colossal structure built by the monks of Aubazines in the 12th century. This circuit also allows you to discover a dolmen, a dry stone "village" built by a hermit, the Puy de Pauliac with its orientation table and its cromlech.
The Canal aux Moines skilfully follows the curves of the hill for about 1.5 km and feeds a reservoir in the abbey enclosure. In the past, the waterfall was used to power the monastery's watermill.
The balconies of Corrèze starting from Cornil
This route consists of two circular loops, one 6 km long and the other 9 km long, which can be done independently. They are marked in yellow from the town hall in Cornil. The first passes along the banks of the Corrèze and the arboretum, while the second offers a long stretch through the forest. The whole route is fairly shaded, which can be pleasant in summer. A short detour allows you to admire the ruins of the castle and the church overlooking the village of Cornil.
Karst route around the Entrecor valley
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.
Route of the Forge and Forest Mills
This hike will take you to the ruins of two old mills dating from the 18th century, built on the Brezou stream. You can see old millstones, dykes, a supply channel and the ruins of the Moulin de la Forêt building with the water inlets under the mill.

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.

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.
Chartreuse du Glandier and Canal des Moines
Feedback from 19/12/2024. Still relevant on 25 August 2025.(!) The route is impassable from La Rechèze due to a crack in the pond's overflow. It is impossible to cross the path, which is closed by municipal order.This beautiful hike will take you to La Chartreuse du Glandier, founded in 1219, known at the time as "Notre-Dame du Glandier", destroyed during the Revolution of 1789 and rebuilt in its current state by the Carthusian monks in 1869.You will also discover the Étang de La Rochèze, built in 1457 to serve as a reservoir for the Canal des Moines (1457).Today it is an institute for people with mental disabilities.
