Du Vent-Haut au Vent-Bas

The route follows the "old road" that once linked Neuvic to Mauriac via the convent of Saint-Projet le Désert, now swallowed up by the Aigle dam reservoir. Beyond the impressive gorges of the Dordogne, a protected area and land of birds of prey, lies the Auvergne. The trail evokes life in the villages of yesteryear. Sechadours (chestnut drying sheds) and slate-covered wells are typical of the Haute Corrèze region. The walk ends at the village of Vent-Haut.
The route is counter-clockwise. The start is 5 km south of Neuvic, on the D982 towards Mauriac, at the Vent-Haut group gîte.
