Adventures and Discoveries at Les Bois de Prayssac

Le Puy, Rocamadour, Gourdon: the Way of Compostela enters Lot-et-Garonne at Montayral, in the Lot valley. As far as Penne d'Agenais, the landscape of the Haut-Agenais opens up on panoramas and reveals the richness of its heritage, such as the bastide of Tournon d'Agenais.

This fortified castle, listed as a "Major Site of Aquitaine", stands on a rocky spur. It is unique in Europe, illustrating the evolution of defence techniques from the Middle Ages to the Renaissance.

In addition to two loops of 2 and 15 km, we offer an intermediate circuit of 8 km in a wooded area of the Périgord forest which hides the castle of Bonaguil.

This short thematic walk goes around the castle of Bonaguil through the traditional vegetation of the Haut-Agenais Périgord, oaks, chestnut trees, hornbeams, boxwoods, brooms, etc. Old iron ore quarries can be seen in the woods, reminding us of the region's iron and steel past. Seven thematic tables will help you discover the history of this area from 7000 years ago to the present day. The castle, "Major site of Aquitaine", exudes a rare serenity. It is built on a rocky spur in the middle of the forest, far from the main roads. It is the work of Baron Béranger de Roquefeuil who, from 1480 to 1520, transformed the initial 13th century castle into a masterpiece of military architecture, where medieval defensive attributes rub shoulders with fire artillery (remarkable dungeon in the shape of a ship's bow, curtains, barbican...).

This circuit first crosses a vineyard, then passes along a lake before going into the forest of Verdus on winding and stony paths. The village of Masquières, close to the department of Lot, occupies a large part of this forest. In the valleys of Lartel and Las Gonies, archaeological discoveries testify to the prehistoric occupation of the place. Nearby, dug into a hill, the cobbler's cave sheltered Neolithic burials. In the forest are the remains of a covered alley called the "Tomb of the Giants" (prehistoric megalith). The church of Saint-Vincent, built in 1240, is the former chapel of a priory attached to the abbey of Moissac

The paths, often lined with dry stone walls, guide this easy hike, benefiting from the shade of the oak trees of the Verdus forest.

As a link between Quercy and Agenais, the Lot changes at Montayral. Twisted in the causses, it widens its meanders here. On the circuit, the contrast is striking between the limestone plateau planted with fir trees and the oaks of the plain.

This very easy walk starts from the car park of the winery, crosses vineyards and enters the soothing shadows of the Verdus forest.

This circuit takes you to the borders of the Lot-et-Garonne and the Lot, stony paths, dry stone walls, pigeon lofts, manor houses, houses of character and numerous viewpoints.
