Horseback riding, between river and forest

You will leave from the Paradis campsite in Saint-Léon-sur-Vézère, on the banks of the Vézère river. The owner of the campsite is used to organizing horseback riding from his “little” Paradise.

Walk along the bank of the Vézère, contemplating the Roque Saint-Christophe. Along the river, the view will be breathtaking over this jewel of Périgord. (Do not go under the bridge on horseback, but follow the road towards Moustier).

As you cross the village of Moustier, you will discover a local hotspot. On the village square, you will see a magnificent cannon, because it is from this village that the cannons arriving from the Ans valley (on the Hautefort side) were transported to Rochefort by road for the royal navy in the 17th century.

In the village of Moustier, head towards the Route du Ruth, a small bucolic road which will take you to Le Ruth to dominate the entire valley. Then, all you have to do is let yourself be guided by the municipal path to the place called Lespinasse through the forest.

In Lespinasse, in the town of Tursac, you will be close to the troglodyte village of La Madeleine. This must-see is well worth the detour (there is a farm where you can probably negotiate a little rest for your horse). With or without a visit to the Madeleine, head towards Fleurac and continue on your way.

Slightly uphill, you will follow the small departmental road before taking the paths through the woods again. And at the crossroads of these paths, you will have to take the one on the right.

Return to the starting point via wide forest paths. You will also have the opportunity to walk along paths lined with small cliffs that will make you think of Heroic fantasy films. You will then return to the village of Moustier via the Entamnies road, and return to Paradise.
