Itinéraire cycloroute Coly-Saint-Amand-Valojoulx

Get on your bike and treat yourself to unforgettable solo, group or family outings in the Vézère valley. Just a stone's throw from the Lascaux cave in the Dordogne and 20km from Sarlat, the beautifully restored village of Coly-Saint-Amand (Saint-Amand-de-Coly) is classified as one of the "Most Beautiful Villages in France", and features several typical Périgord Noir houses and dovecotes, but above all a majestic 12th-century abbey church considered to be the most beautiful fortified church in Périgord.

Grey tiles, yellow stone and ochre, the church of the former abbey of Coly-Saint-Amand is the archetypal fortified sanctuary. From the dungeon-tower housing a defensive chamber, to the watchtower loggias concealed in the transept, the overall impression is impressive. You arrive at Valojoulx on the left bank of the Vézère valley, in the heart of Périgord Noir in the Dordogne.
