Camping La Forêt in Pezuls: Discover the Dordogne

"Between woods and meadows, from Saint-Avit to Journiac This walk is not difficult and goes through chestnut woods and meadows on the hillsides. It takes wide paths or small country roads alternating shady and sunny parts.

Between path and small road, discovery of the countryside.

Between Journiac and Saint Avit de Vialard, the loop of Saint Mont proposes to go around a small valley. The plain and the plateau are dedicated to the forest, to agriculture and the hillsides

Starting from the village of Mauzac and its large water level at the dam, the route follows a canal that was dug between 1838 and 1843 to facilitate navigation to Libourne and Bordeaux. It is thus on the old towpath which was used to "lift" the boats that the valley cycle route is located. Along this route are some remarkable structures, such as the lock and the lock house of Mauzac (transformed into a museum), the "canal bridge" of Saint-Capraise de Lalinde, the lock staircase of Tuilières with a crossing basin, before arriving at the dam of Tuilières of 19,30 m high and 105 m length. This dam which produces 148GWH of annual average electricity is equipped with a fish elevator.

The city of Bergerac was an important port on the Dordogne in the days of the inland waterways. Some developments on the river upstream and downstream still testify to this period, including the dams created to facilitate navigation or for electricity production.

The village of Limeuil has been occupied since prehistoric times, when men took refuge in troglodytic shelters dug into the limestone rock. The presence of man is attested in Limeuil as early as the Magdalenian, as various excavations reveal bone fragments, carved flints and stones carved from animals. The term troglodyte comes from the Greek word for cave. The troglodytic house of Limeuil is certainly built in the hollow of a prehistoric rock shelter. Situated high up, this place allows surveillance, protection from bad weather and quick access to the fishing area. Situated halfway between Sarlat and Bergerac, on the site of a former fortified castle at the top of the village of Limeuil, these gardens offer you an unmissable view of the confluence of the Dordogne and Vézère rivers.
