No cars, some good compacted gravel, nice areas for a picnic (and maybe even to pitch a tent and bivouac ? Not tested). What more can you wish for ?

Beautifully designed rest area with pilgrim figures. There is also a fountain with drinking water.

Very nice view over the valley and over the chestnut copses, once used by the feuillardiers, craftsmen from Périgord-Limousin who made the slats used to make the barrels of the region's winegrowers. https://bit.ly/3egoFjY

Montbrun castle, in the heart of the Périgord Limousin regional natural park, is surely one of the most beautiful in Limousin. At the edge of a pond and in a very beautiful green setting, the site is full of charm and steeped in history. It is located on the "Richard Coeur de Lion" tourist route. The castle can be visited between May and October.

Remains of the castle of Châlus-Maulmont, or Tower of the fort, dating from the 13th century. The village of Châlus is crossed by the Richard-Coeur-de-Lion tourist route and it is here that the King who was allegedly assassinated.

Even here - in the middle of the Périgord - there are references to Richard the Lionheart, as this fantastic castle shows... Almost like being at home in the Palatinate 😊
