A circular route for pedestrians, mountain bikes and Swincars, mainly following marked and maintained paths and a small, quiet road. Much of the route is through wooded areas, which are very pleasant in summer.

This route is easy with little elevation gain. It consists mainly of paths, often in wooded areas, with one section on a small, quiet road. In wet weather, it is advisable to wear good shoes. Note: the soil in Issigeac is very clayey and therefore sticks well when conditions are right!

Circular starting from Roquépine-Sainte-Radegonde via Saint-Léon d'Issigeac. Lots of countryside, a little forest. A ford to cross in winter. Birdsong. Perhaps a deer. Landscapes everywhere. A few small roads, with almost no cars. And then the ruins of the Moulin de Pincanelle after the Bois de Bayard.

Hike through the vineyards and village of Monbazillac with a visit to the château.

A very pleasant circular walk through vineyards, woodland and plains. The walk starts at Rouffignac cemetery but can also start at the magnificent Château de Bridoire (15th and 16th centuries - visits, games for children, etc.). Crossing the Gardonnette ford is a little tricky.

Near the magnificent Bastide d'Eymet, enjoy a family walk along Lac de l'Escourou, where you can observe the region's flora and fauna. The small lake is equipped for bird watching. Children can answer the short quizzes scattered along the route.

Majestic and imposing, Biron Castle perches on a hill, reigning supreme over the surrounding countryside. This landscape of hills, valleys, woods and fields where cows and horses graze is a haven of peace conducive to meditation.

A hike starting from the magnificent bastide town of Monpazier in the south of the Périgord Pourpre. Small paths and chestnut tree undergrowth. The walk is quite long, but the elevation gain is low. Enough to spend a very good afternoon (or morning).

The hike allows you to discover two ancient villages now united under the name of Saint-Georges-de-Montclard. The village of Montclard is dominated by the 11th-century castle, of which the remains of the tower can still be seen. The village of Saint-Georges is home to an 11th-century church and Sainte Rita. The walk takes you through the forest in a hilly area with a few steep slopes requiring a minimum level of fitness.

This route allows you to discover one of the least known fortified castles in Lot-et-Garonne, its fortified village and its green valley: Gavaudun. It passes through the hamlet of Laurenque and its elegant 12th-century church. You will see the moving ruins of the Priory of Saint-Sardos and discover the legend associated with it. Off the route, you can visit the village of Saint-Avit, home to the Bernard Palissy Museum (potter, enameller, painter, glass craftsman, writer and scholar).
