Périgueux walks

Come and discover Périgueux, capital of the Périgord region, rooted in its past but still as lively as ever. Its narrow streets and small squares are sure to charm you.

A very pleasant eight-shaped hike with two successive circular loops: wooded paths, few roads, châteaux.

Or the ancient winter solstice circular. During this hike, you can see the throne of the King of the Chauzes, which, together with the Rey des Chauzes, forms the ancient winter solstice observatory: explanation on site. You can also see the Cluzeau de Borie Belet and Merovingian sarcophagi.

A beautiful hike that can be adapted to suit your preferences (shorter or longer variants, return trips to viewpoints). Lots of pleasant paths in the woods, few roads. Numerous viewpoints, a castle, springs, a pond...

A peaceful hike through woods and meadows, on foot, horseback or mountain bike, with or without dogs.

A fairly long but easy hike: the slopes are gentle and the elevation gain is moderate. There are some beautiful wooded sections, mainly towards the end, and a few views of the rolling countryside, but there are also some paved sections that can be a bit long.

A lovely, slightly challenging walk (in terms of distance and elevation gain) but well worth the effort. Charming paths through the woods, unobstructed views, beautiful old and modern houses, with uphill, downhill and flat sections!

A peaceful, tranquil country walk, offering a pleasant exploration of the countryside along lovely wooded paths.

Brantôme, the Venice of Périgord...

A pleasant and rather varied hike that allows you to discover the landscapes of this part of the central Périgord and the valley where the Caudeau river has its source. There are a few sections of tarmac, but they are not very busy.

A challenging hike mainly on shaded woodland trails or paths. Beautiful views of the valleys and small hamlets scattered throughout the countryside.

The walk takes you past seven springs scattered throughout this rural landscape. The route follows the road, then a forest track or pretty country lanes. The area is very peaceful. You pass through hamlets, farms and meadows. The route is suitable for mountain bikes.

This hike allows you to discover the town at the bottom of the valley, passing from one ridge to another via forest tracks and paths, with little use of roads. It is accessible to all, without difficulty, and is well marked in yellow.

Some points of interest in the village: you will pass the Tour Pigeonnier, the Pierre à Sacrifice or Peyre d'Ermale or Dermale. Further on, there is a climbing site and a troglodytic village dating from the 12th-13th centuries. Don't miss the Peyrelevade dolmen, dating from the Neolithic period and listed as a Historic Monument since 1960, and the sculptures visible on the gate of a quarry.

The commune of Saint-Félix-de-Reilhac-et-Mortemart offers beautiful hiking routes of varying distances, accessible to most nature lovers. The route suggested here takes you up a hill where you can enjoy beautiful panoramic views, alternating between tracks and forest paths.

A beautiful hike in the countryside. A pleasant walk that will allow you to discover the countryside in peace and quiet, without any great difficulty.

No major points of interest on this circular route, apart from the charming little church in Saint-Séverin. Peace and quiet, peace and quiet, peace and quiet, and birdsong! A succession of quiet country lanes and fire tracks for the first, longer section. The final stretch between the two villages is more varied. Option to shorten the route.
