The Papeterie Mill
A walk full of discoveries, between a site steeped in history (the Moulin de la Résistance) and a botanical trail.
Papeterie de Vaux - Pont Laveyrat circular
On this hike, you will visit the Vaux paper mill, two oval barns located at the "crossroads" of the three departments of Dordogne, Corrèze and Haute-Vienne.
Halfway through the hike, you will discover Pont Laveyrat, which, along with the "Moulin de la Papeterie" (paper mill) marked "Moulin de la résistance" (resistance mill), is a major site of the resistance with its memorial. This path connects Périgord and Corrèze.
On the way back, you will pass by the botanical trail with 30 identified trees.
The Vineyards of Concéze
A lovely, very natural trail offering beautiful views of the countryside. There is a bit of an elevation gain to take into account, but alternative routes reduce the trail’s length from the original 11 kilometres to 8 or 6 kilometres.
Savignac, Saint-Mesmin and the forges by the Auvézère
This route is reserved for experienced hikers and is as breathtaking as it is technical. From Savignac, take the wild trails along the Auvézère to Saint-Mesmin. Then return more leisurely via the plain, admiring the famous Savignac forges along the way. Some trails are steep and can be dangerous.
La Tourmente from Juillac
This route crosses the Montcheyrol forest, classified as a ZNIEFF (Natural Area of Ecological, Faunistic and Floristic Interest).
This is a beautiful walk in a wooded area dominated by deciduous trees, including oak, beech, chestnut, ash, black locust and cherry, through the heart of which flows the Tourmente river, which has carved out its territory by shaping the rock.
This walk can be extended with a stroll through the streets of Juillac, among its characterful houses with slate roofs.
Le Forestier starting from Juillac
This route offers a mix of meadows, apple orchards, woodland and a stream. It allows you to explore the surrounding countryside, with the Château de Hautefort to the west and the limestone hills of Ayen Yssandon and Saint-Robert.
Le Combeau (via La Vialle from Juillac)
This route offers various views of the village of Juillac and the surrounding area.
Saint-Mesmin, Étang de Born and the Auvézère
Set off from Saint-Mesmin, a hub for technical but magnificent hikes. Explore the superb Forêt Domaniale de Born and enjoy a bite to eat on a stone table by the Étang de Born. Take a tour of the hills before descending into the Auvézère valley to test your skills in the face of nature on a wild trail that will take you back to your starting point. The last part of this hike is strongly discouraged for beginners. Don't panic, an alternative, marked route is suggested in the description: don't take any unnecessary risks.
