Port de Creysse to Meyronne

A very pleasant route for the whole family, with no difficulty at all. The route is situated in the valley between Meyronne and the Dordogne. You can see the old kiln of a very old tile works, with its manor house at the edge of the hamlet of Laborie; then we arrive at Port de Creysse where, in summer, a boat can take you across the Dordogne. The return journey takes you through walnut groves in the valley.

A very disappointing start to the walk: tarmac, tarmac, tarmac!

Fortunately, the second half is on dirt tracks through walnut groves and fields...

Our tip: do it the other way round and turn back at the harbour...

It was a lovely way for us tourists to explore the village and its surroundings; we really enjoy this sort of short route that can be done in a morning. We were able to complete the route without getting wet (tarmac does have its advantages) despite the rainy weather that had persisted for several days at the end of April and beginning of May. Except at the Limon stream, which was in flood and had inundated the road, we turned back to rejoin the route at the foot of the village.

A family walk with little shade, so children need to be protected.

In running mode, the GPS track isn’t accurate enough to transfer to a watch. Still, it’s a useful and welcome aid

A Sunday stroll after a family meal – ‘In trainers’ would have been a better title
It wasn’t a hike but a walk on 90% tarmac around the walnut grove
Not worth the effort
