Discover Sainte-Féréole, Corrèze, Limousin: A Hidden Gem

Discover the Ardoise region through this 61 km long sportive route! Your tour starts in Donzenac, a pretty town of character. Once an important fortified town, Donzenac has lost none of its charm thanks to its medieval architecture. At the highest point of the oldest part of the town is the astonishing castle of the barons of Donzenac, which is surely the oldest remaining residence in the town. After a few kilometres in the legs, you arrive at the gates of Allassac! Amongst its rich heritage, the 14th century fortified church and the Tour César are worth discovering. To complete the loop, allow yourself a well-deserved break to discover the Pans de Travassac. The interest of the site is explained by its impressive coloured cliffs, which do not fail to surprise, just like its decor which harmonises mineral and plant environments.

This route allows you to admire the views over Donzenac and its plain from the village of Mazières. It then sinks into the shaded valley of the two Maumonts, which it crosses at the mill of Theil, to emerge on the top of the slopes by the charming village of Cévennes. It then dips back into the Maumonts valley one last time before reaching the famous Travassac slate quarry site Finally, a short detour to the medieval village of Donzenac allows you to take a refreshing break in the town square before finishing this hike.

This tour invites you to discover a mosaic of gently sloping hills and picturesque villages. Here, the art of living is cultivated, from the earthly to the spiritual. This generous land bears witness to the marvellous skills of medieval builders in such exceptional sites as Aubazine and Saint-Robert. There are also countless natural treasures to discover: the Causse corrézien, the Gouffre de la Fage... Stay in the depths and discover the pans de Travassac near Donzenac, a pleasant medieval town with circular streets. Further west, the Vézère winds its way through hills and flowering orchards to form a verdant valley. It's all there to amaze you... but the star of this land remains the apple, of which there are 250 varieties in Corrèze, found in the orchards between Objat and Juillac.

You will cross the forest of Puy Mirat before joining the banks of the Corrèze. While going up from Meydiaux to Fougères, above the quarries, panorama on the valley. In Fougères, old restored chapel. Variant of 7 km: at 150m at the exit of the village of Dessas, possible shortcut to return to the village by crossing the orchards.

You'll make your way through the Couze valley and over the ridges that dominate our commune... At Puy de Leyrat, just before the village of Vieillefond, panoramic views of the lower Corrèze. On your route: two old watermills, at Bourguet and Saquet. Possible 6 km variation: at Vieillefond, you can take a shortcut back to the village, via the village of Latreille.

By following this circuit, you will discover that the commune of Saint Germain-les-Vergnes, in spite of its rural aspect, was a high place of the seigniory. Indeed, you will find two castles in the commune: that of Chauvel and that of Chadebec as well as its landscaped park (rare species, English river, factories, vegetable garden, forest, etc.), registered as Historic Monuments; but also the villa Giroir dating from 1895.

This forest trail offers beautiful views of the Corrèze valley to the north and the Roanne to the east. Its interpretation trail emphasizes the transition of the landscape from the 19th century to the present day. The Lacoste itinerary, with a more marked difference in altitude, allows you to discover the beautiful village that gave it its name before reaching the town of Dampniat. The Saint-Pardoux church, a listed building and an architectural treasure trove of local history, is well worth a visit.

The path of the revolt will lead you to the pond of Lachamp, scene of the first confrontations in 1790 between peasants and the maréchaussée. On your way, you will discover the heritage retracing the history, the church (1886) with a view on the valley of the Couze, the castle dating from the 17th century, its watchtower from the 12th century, the chapel of the old cemetery and the miraculous fountain of St-Eutrope with the legend dating from the 14th century.
