Monceaux-sur-Dordogne walks

A pleasant route in the hills above the Dordogne valley, with some lovely views, starting from Monceaux, an interesting village with its traditional houses.

Walk along the Xaintrie Noire and Gabariers trails in the shady undergrowth between the Roche and Clauzel streams. The trail is marked in yellow throughout and numbered (6).

This beautiful circular trail first takes you up to the heights overlooking Argentat. Enjoy beautiful views and discover the pretty hamlet of Aumont. In the second part, along the banks of the Dordogne, the trail takes you through the quayside district of Argentat and continues to a nature reserve. At the end of the trail, you cross the Dordogne via the Sablier dam.

A peaceful hike through rolling countryside criss-crossed by brooks and streams, through woods and pastures.

The hike first takes you up the Franche Valeine stream, where you can admire the beautiful, large waterfalls dotted along its course. After a connecting section, you descend to reach the Ruisseau des Rochettes gorges and waterfalls, then rejoin the Franche Valeine and follow it upstream to the car park where the hike began. Most of the route passes through wilderness areas untouched by human activity.

A beautiful hike on a sunny slope of the Dordogne valley, where the fast-flowing waters of the Glane river run, dominated by the village of Servières-le-Château, renowned for its architectural heritage.

A loop, mainly through woods, starting from the charming and picturesque sanctuary of Notre-Dame de Belpeuch, which means "the beautiful mountain". Located in the heart of the Xaintrie, it contains a magnificent statue of the Virgin Mary, dating from the 15th century. There are a few steep slopes, but the walk is pleasant. Good walking shoes are necessary.

From the Dordogne valley, a path leads up to the heights of Altillac, south of the Xaintrie. The shared influence of Quercy (on the houses) and Cantal (on the barns) can be felt in the village.

A pleasant but very long hike in the heart of nature, far from civilisation. 1,000 m of elevation gain. The Gorges de la Cère are very wild and steep-sided. They are only accessible on foot or by train. The hike is almost entirely in the shade and, as a result, the trees often hide the view. Best attempted in spring or autumn?

This lovely walk through woods and scenic spots allows you to discover a fairly authentic landscape and countryside.

A hike along beautiful wooded paths or pastures to discover an unusual sundial.

A circular route starting from Meyssac towards Chauffour-sur-Vell along paths and small roads. Wash houses, fountains, springs and beautiful buildings adorn this fairly easy hike.

Walk above the Gorges de la Dordogne, through former chestnut plantations, a restored market garden, along an old Roman road, tracks and forest paths.

This is a short walk starting from the magnificent calvary of Bassignac-le-Haut, offering one of the most beautiful views of the Dordogne. It is an easy walk, with part of the route on a quiet road.

Enjoy a delightful walk around the lake and Coiroux Golf Course.

A winding route through the woods, between greenery and running water...

Discover the paths and small hamlets overlooking Lake Marcillac-La-Croisille, between the Doustre and the Labissière pine forest.

This hike will take you through a pretty village, which you will leave behind for a circular route offering a variety of landscapes, from the plains of the Dordogne valley to the hills of the Lot and the pretty hamlet of Plagne. A long, gentle descent will enchant you with views of the cliffs of the "river of hope" and the Gallic oppidum of Uxellodunum de Vayrac. You will then walk alongside walnut groves before returning to the narrow streets of the village centre, the fountain/wash house, its lively centre with shops and the old wine press.

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.

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.

Discover the natural beauty of the Gramat plateau, around the charming medieval village of Carennac. If you love nature and old buildings, this hike is for you.
