Short circular around Saint-Avit-Sénieur
The village of Saint-Avit-Sénieur is built around an old abbey surrounded by rich land and beautiful chestnut groves. There are many hiking trails around the village. This walk is inspired by one of them, but is a little shorter. This means it can easily be done in half a day. The first part follows theGR® trail and takes you through undergrowth and meadows, while the second part mainly follows paved local roads.
Short circular loop around Sainte-Croix de Beaumont
An easy walk whatever the season, very shaded in summer as it runs through woodland, but still manageable in winter. A gentle, unchallenging climb offering views of a landscape typical of southern Périgord: a small valley, woodland of oak and chestnut trees, a stone house with a traditional Périgord roof, a park with a château (not open to visitors) and a small 12th-century church.
Circular route to the east of Naussannes
This circular loop starting from Naussannes presents virtually no difficulty, apart from a few slightly steep metres. It offers the chance to explore the countryside around this small village, with lovely shaded sections in a well-preserved environment and vegetation typical of the Périgord’s limestone soils. There are some lovely views of the bastide of Beaumont-du-Périgord. Well worth exploring, for example, on a lovely summer’s afternoon.
Circular of Rocher du Corbeau
This route is not particularly "wild", but the natural surroundings here still allow you to find yourself. As a bonus, the superb Château de Bannes will amaze you.

Circular Badefols-sur-Dordogne via Molières
This hike takes you through the hills to the bastide town of Molières, which is well worth a visit for its charm. You will walk through the hamlets along shaded paths and return via the other side overlooking Badefols. Quiet roads and paths follow one another with beautiful panoramic views of the valleys.
Lalinde – Limeuil
The third stage follows the bends of the Dordogne, taking in the villages of Mauzac and Trémolat, before finishing in the village of Limeuil, one of the most beautiful villages in France.
Circular de Calès
This walk starts in a village located on a hill. It takes you along a ridge towards Trémolat, where you can discover the Dordogne river, before reaching the agricultural plain that borders the river. The village's charm and its church overlooking the valley are well worth a visit.
Around La Courrège via Saint-Cassien
A mixed walk (forest paths and small roads) around the bastide town of Monpazier.
A complete immersion in the undergrowth and in a countryside that has hardly changed in over 50 years. A truly remote spot.
Updated at the request of a local resident, the start of this hike has been moved to Saint-Cassien, near the village church.
Couze and Saint-Front circular loop
This walk partly follows the two local routes, allowing you to explore the village from the heights – noting that the houses are built on the hillside – and then down through the valley, with many buildings and points of interest to discover. It is steep for the first 800 metres, but your efforts will be well rewarded.
In the woods north of Monpazier
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).
Buisson de Cadouin circular loop
This hike takes you around the commune and allows you to discover beautiful residences as you walk through remote hamlets. You can enjoy lovely panoramic views. The route leads you away from the urban centre.
