Description

Undoubtedly inspiring the writer Eugène Le Roy, this loop winds, rises, strolls and descends to rub shoulders with the castle and ponds of Coulonge. Panoramas and views of both Montignac and the surrounding area are available to you. You will walk in the middle of a typically Périgord nature made of lush meadows and chestnut thickets.
