Margueron walks

Margueron is a small commune where the rural character remains very much alive. Crops and woods dominate the landscape, and vineyards occupy a prominent place here. The woods are ideal places to recharge your batteries, observe the remaining natural environment and escape from everyday life. The proposed route offers varied landscapes with a rural and authentic character. These characteristics can be found in the small church of Margueron, typical of the region with its bell tower.

Throughout the hike, mills, wine châteaux and churches combine to offer hikers a charming backdrop in a natural and varied setting. Don't miss the Romanesque church of Thoumeyragues, which is said to have been built by the monks of Saint-Émilion. Also worth seeing: the Bouhets dovecote and the Château de la Beauze (early 16th century).

A beautiful hike starting from the pretty village of Soumensac. From the car park, you will have a magnificent view of the typical Lot-et-Garonne countryside.
