Discover LES 2 LACS in Beauville, Lot-et-Garonne, Aquitaine

This circuit runs along the village's rampart path, at the foot of the ramparts to the west and north, before climbing up a steep, shady path into the town. A small loop within the town will lead you to discover the winding streets, lined with gardens and the town hall square surrounded by angle irons.

Along this rugged route, you will discover four listed sites: Beauville, a promontory on the Séoune valley, the churches of Blaymont and Massels and the fortified site of Frespech.

Small loop on the steep and shady paths leading away from the village. Return via the covered way at the foot of the ramparts to finish with the discovery of the heart of the bastide.

From the promontory village of Beauville, the circuit goes down progressively in the valley of the Séoune, by shaded paths. A climb, rather steep at the beginning, allows to reach the pech of Marcoux. At the calvary, do not hesitate to continue the ascent on the boxwood-lined path. As early as the Gallo-Roman era, a temple stood here, probably dedicated to Mercury. The name of Marcoux may be derived from that of the god. In the 12th century, a church was built, and still exists. It is classified as a historical monument. Go back down towards the Petite Séoune, which you will follow for a few hundred metres on a wide track that marks the wooded foot of the hill. Once you have crossed the two rivers again, just before their confluence, you will need to make a final effort to reach the fortified town (almost 120 m of ascent for the last kilometre).

After the castle of Combebonnet, this circuit passes upstream of the lake of Gandaille, crosses a large plateau where cereals and market gardening are very present and ends on the steep paths which surround the tourist lake of Beauville.

This small easy circuit, nevertheless includes some steep climbs, with shaded passages and some wide openings on the surrounding hillsides.

From the church of Saint-Julien, go and see the Château de Combebonnet, the church of Saint-Pierre-aux-Liens in Engayrac and the Lake of Gandaille. An orientation table, a game of goose, a medieval garden, will enhance this nice little walk.

After the church with its square bell tower, the paths gradually descend into the valley of the Séoune. The lakes, which are very present, allow farmers to irrigate their land and add a touch of blue to the surrounding green landscapes.

A short but tough circuit through wooded valleys to discover two churches, Massels and Sainte-Quitterie, classified as Historic Monuments. Sainte-Quitterie's church, which is largely Romanesque, was given an open chapel in the south wall of the nave in the Gothic period. Long hidden under the whitewash, paintings from the end of the 15th century are now reappearing, saved by a conservation and restoration program carried out over many months. These paintings cover the entire walls and vaults. Each wall of the chapel is divided into three superimposed registers, themselves delimited by compartments formed by arcatures resting on fine columns. The vaults, also decorated, are divided into two figures on a background alternately red ochre or yellow ochre. Visits: Massels town hall 05 53 95 40 79 - OT Penne 05 53 41 37 80
