Discover Penne-d'agenais, Lot-et-Garonne, Aquitaine

From the promontory village of Penne, you will descend into the valley of the Boudouyssou before climbing the hill of the castle of Noaillac and covering the whole length of the St-Michel plateau.

This circuit is one of the most demanding in the department. From the bottom of the narrow valleys, the paths go straight on the steep pechs. However, some passages on long plateaus offer resting places and shaded areas, which are appreciated in summer. The origin of the place names around Penne testifies to a rich historical past, Gallic, Roman, Germanic, linked to the activities, the nature of the soil, the fauna or the flora. You will discover along this route an interesting built heritage with in particular, the Roman bridge, the pretty village of Penne-d'Agenais and the church Notre Dame de Peyragudes, of Roman-Byzantine style, with a Greek cross plan. It is a place of pilgrimage and a stopover on the roads leading to Santiago de Compostela.

From Penne d'Agenais to Pujols, the Compostelle du Puy route via Rocamadour climbs the slopes of the Pays de Serres, above the Lot valley. Hikers thus reach a village of character and one of the most beautiful in France.

Bonus: a visit to the castles of Bonaguil and Gavaudun. The route takes you along steep, bucolic roads with surprising panoramas. The rugged profile reflects the different landscapes you pass through: the Pays de Serres with its Quercy influences, the Val Lémance, the Collines de Guyenne, and finally the Lot Valley. A great challenge to (re)discover this unique heritage.
