Your itinerary
Step 1
Starting from the car park, head towards the abbey. At the entrance to the village, locate between two houses on the right, opposite a restored house with blue shutters, a staircase opening onto a steeply ascending path.
Step 2
Take the latter, which in places offers a view of the abbey, its ramparts and the Salignac gate. A path climbs gently onto the plateau. Walk past a large house and its old well. Ignore two paths on the left. The crossroads marked with a wooden cross (the Peuch cross) as well as numerous signposts constitutes the looping point of the circuit
Step 3
Take the signposted road "Lasserre" and follow it for 300 meters until a hairpin bend. After the hairpin bend, spot a narrow path on the right. Take the latter, going down steeply, which goes into the woods. Continue until the intersection with the D64. Cross and pass the small bridge over the Chironde to arrive at a junction of five paths.
Step 4
On the right of the road leading to Lasserre, locate an uphill path leading to the hamlet. Turn right twice to then arrive at a bend.
Step 5
Leave the hamlet at the corner of a house with a wooden balcony, via a very sunny grassy path (turning around, beautiful view of the hamlet). Continue on the path, continuing to the left, as indicated on a difficult path descending through the woods. Arrive at a path that borders the stream
Step 6
Go up it to the left for a few meters. Turn right then left, stay on the left path and head towards the hamlet Brégégère
Step 7
Take the road on the left and cross the hamlet, continue straight on until the next path on the right towards Les Bessoules
Step 8
Continue on the latter (monumental oak tree on the left) until you reach a built fountain. Go down then go back up to a tarmac road which you have to take on the right to leave it at a beautiful old house and a very sharp turn to the left
Step 9
Then go down to the right in bends through the woods into the Chironde valley. Once you have joined the tarmac road, continue right for 150 meters then turn left and right again until you reach La Chironde, which you must cross by a castin path to the D64
Step 10
Take the road on the right (direction Coly), then after 50 meters continue left on the signposted path "Tirondel". Remains of the platform of the old railway line. Turn right then right again at an old gatekeeper's house and go up through the woods. Make a left-right on the road to go near the first houses of the hamlet of Foussigne on the Route de Larnaudie
Step 11
Go back down to the right by the road to the hamlet of Larnaudie. Cross it until it exits. Locate the start of the path on the left. Turn right then left and right again on the path that goes back up. Once at the exit of the woods, go left then right along the road to the Croix du Peuch.
Step 12
Turn left towards the village of Saint-Amand de Coly by the opposite route to the starting point
