The first part of the route is indeed difficult when it has rained recently. And it rains a lot in the region during winter. We got a little stuck, but we persevered. It was a pleasant hike in the end!

Hello,
In addition to the above comments, the trail quickly became impassable. We had to climb over the electric fence (put up by the farmer on the marked trail...) to continue on the trail despite the soggy ground with deep ruts caused by cattle and agricultural machinery from the Forsac estate. And yet the weather had been fine for a week in the area!
It's a shame because the rest of the hike is very good, despite the poor signage.
We are not the only ones to have noticed this. It should be mentioned in the description.

Thank you, however, for all the hikes you offer with such detailed information.
Kind regards

A very easy walk offering beautiful scenery... the gentle charm of Corrèze. You have to go through the gate at the start of the walk and, above all, wear walking boots as the paths are muddy in winter... which is to be expected! The detour via Font Faure is a must. The sections on the road are not dangerous as there is not much traffic.

From point 1, it is impossible to follow the path: an electric fence blocks the way. And yet there are blue and yellow markings!

-Easy route.
-Question about the distance: Is the detour via Font-faure included in the distance indicated?
-In wet conditions, some tricky sections.
-The paved sections are not very busy.
-A visit to the small church in Benayes is worthwhile.

The trail quickly became impassable after leaving the D85 (point 1 on the route) and crossing the electric fence, at the level of the meadow whose soggy ground had deep ruts caused by cattle and the passage of agricultural machinery from the Forsac estate.
We were forced to turn back and reach point 2 via the D20!
The markings were a little poor.

Beautiful hike.
Be careful, as the path is quickly blocked by an electric fence.
It is easy to cross. Follow the field and you will find the normal path further on.

Hello,

Thank you for your feedback.

However, please redo the signposting and repave the path from the lodge to the road. Thank you.

The maintenance of paths and signposting is not the responsibility of the author or Visorando. "Plot on map" does not refer to the maintenance of paths and/or signposting, but rather the accuracy of the route as it appears on the map in relation to the actual terrain.

See you soon.

The Font de Faure walk is very interesting and the area is very peaceful, but the paths need to be resurfaced and the path from the lodge to the road needs to be tarmacked. Thank you.

This hike is still just a plan for me.
Thank you to Visorando for all the opportunities regularly offered on its website.
Best regards.

Hello,

thank you for your comment. We will amend the description accordingly.

Last week's storm has indeed had an impact on the safety of the routes. We advise against using the hiking routes for one month, to give local authorities and associations time to assess and, if necessary, repair the damage.

Kind regards,

Hello

Please note that you must keep Forzac Castle on your left to go around it; we ended up at Mas de Forzac.

Last Wednesday, there were violent storms in this area, which knocked down many trees. Many branches remain hanging from large trees.

Caution is advised.

Have a good day.
