Loyre (rivière) - Affluent de la Vézère walks

Feedback received on 19/12/2024. Still relevant on 25 August 2025.(!) Route impassable from La Rechèze due to a breach at the pond’s overflow. Impossible to cross the path, which is closed by municipal order.This lovely walk will take you to discover La Chartreuse du Glandier, founded in 1219, known at the time as "Notre-Dame du Glandier", destroyed during the Revolution of 1789 and rebuilt to its present state by the Carthusian Fathers in 1869.You will also discover the Étang de La Rechèze, built in 1457 to serve as a reservoir feeding the Canal des Moines (1457).Today it is a care home for people with intellectual disabilities.

This route will allow you to discover or rediscover the traditional craft of making the ‘couade’, an iconic object of the village of Troche, which used to be found in every home.

A lovely ride that alternates between woodland and open countryside, leading you to discover some stunning architectural heritage.
