November 28, 2024,Boucle Carennac – Ruines de taillerfer au départ de Carennac

Great hike!!! We avoided taking the section of the trail that leads under the Château de Taillefer because at the moment, the paths are very wet, very narrow and slippery. As locals, we know the area well and continued a few meters to take the safer path also leading to Taillefer and which we took on the return trip.

A lovely walk with beautiful gravel paths through the woods, with a steep section at the end. The ruins were not visited.
