Description

This trail from the granite village of Chavanac takes us to one of the most visited sites on the Plateau de Millevaches, the Longeyroux peat bog.Leave from the church square in Chavanac. Take the D49 towards Meymac. At the end of the village, opposite a cross, turn right. After 200 m, leave the road and go straight on a track; pass the last house in the village and continue on the main track.At the end of this wide track, at a wood storage area, take the path on the right for 100 m. Leave it on the left to cross the stream on a footbridge, and go up a grassy path through a young plantation. This path joins a small road.Follow it to the left for 500 m. The path leads off to the right, bypassing a forest.At a crossroads in the paths, take the one on the right, which crosses the Vézère by a footbridge. Continue straight ahead until you reach the grove. Turn right at the entrance to the grove and follow the track that goes straight ahead along the fence. After passing through a wetland, the Hundred Stones site comes into view (you can go in through the gate to get closer).Continue along this track which enters a wood and then joins the D109 road, which you should take on the right.From the peat bog car park, you can go down the interpretation trail (30 minute round trip).

Where the tracks cross, take the right-hand track, which becomes a small forest road.At a crossroads, this road describes a right angle. 300 metres further on, take a track that goes right into the undergrowth, climbing slightly. After 1 km, you come to an intersection of tracks. Take the beautiful track on the left. After the bridge over the Vézère, it leads to the village of Chavanac.
