Discover CAMPING DE LA FERME DU PELOU in Tursac, Dordogne

This loop allows you to discover elements of the heritage of the commune of Tursac. A local association, Evasion Culturelle à Tursac, has carried out research to make this itinerary a "small heritage path". All along the route, the markers bear the association's logo. We will quote here some elements of reading of this small heritage.

This hilly itinerary takes the beautiful Peyrière path which offers a splendid view over the valley: the village of Tursac and the Château de Marzac. It then crosses the hills to reach the narrow Beune Valley.

This shaded loop around Les Eyzies de Tayac can easily be done with the family. A discovery of the hamlet of Tayac and its fortified church then a walk in the forest on a path overlooking the rocks and the Vézère.

Start from the caravan park. Despite its short distance, the first part of the route is tough and not very technical.

A loop that follows the meanders of the Vézère at Tursac and leaves the valley to enter the thick woods towards the plateaus before returning to the wide plain of the river. This itinerary offers a short version: 7,5 km for 2h30, and a long version : 11km for 4h00.

This very bucolic loop offers an itinerary through chestnut woods, on agricultural hills where meadows and walnut trees share the space.

A family walk to discover the small village of Sireuil perched on the hills above the Beunes valley.

From Terrasson-Lavilledieu to Limeuil, where the Vézère joins the Dordogne, the river runs through one of the most beautiful regions of the Périgord. This fifth stage will take you from Eyzies to Le Bugue. Located at the confluence of the Beune and the Vézère, the village of Les Eyzies is sometimes called the "world capital of prehistory". You will discover a multitude of archaeological sites such as the Cro-Magnon shelter, the Font de Gaume cave or the Pataud shelter. Information sites are also present in the village: the Pôle International de Préhistoire and the Musée National de Préhistoire. Then go to Le Bugue via the hamlet of Peuch and the village of St Cirq.

The intercommunal VéloRoute Voie Verte project aims to link the north and south of the valley (60km), from Limeuil to Aubas, and connect with other national VéloRoutes Voies Vertes at both ends: to the north, it links up with the Flow Vélo, an itinerary leading from Ile d'Aix to Sarlat La Canéda, via Coly-Saint-Amand. to the south, the route joins the VéloRoute Voie Verte - V91 - project, which runs along the Dordogne valley to the Lot and Gironde regions, partly on a low-traffic road from Les Eyzies to Aubas, via the famous Lascaux cave. More undulating, this itinerary is ideal for cyclists ready for a challenge, but also allows the less athletic to join the voie verte: a beautiful combination of natural landscapes and historic sites punctuate these routes.

The train station of Les Eyzies, located at 700 meters from the village center, allows direct access to the heart of the Vézère valley and to the heart of prehistory. Indeed, the village hosts an impressive density of prehistoric sites, or sites dedicated to prehistory. For walkers, the "Micoque loop" leads from the village under the high cliffs of Laugerie to the Micoque deposit, a site which has revealed traces of occupation dating back at least 350,000 years

Located in a loop in the Vézère, north of Eyzies, the troglodyte village of Madeleine is one of the best examples of the long tradition of human occupation in this area of Périgord Noir. The prehistoric deposit is found at the foot of the cliff. It has particular stone and bone tools and many works of art which have enabled the definition of a new period in the evolution of Cro-Magnon, which it has given its name to, the Magdalenian culture. Certainly from the 8th century, a population settled in what was then the height of comfort and safety. The ruins of a fairly large fortified castle illustrate the defensive aspects of the site. The inhabitants abandoned the site some years later with the growing popularity of the gas engine and the development of the railway and then returned, following age-old tradition.
