Gravel N°22 - Discovering Le Rougier

Embed this item to access it offline

Winding its way along rustic paths and roads, this somewhat challenging walk – taking in the red earth and the foothills of the Lacaune mountains – invites you to explore the village of Combret and pass through an unexpected canyon 

The wine-red valleys of the Rougier and the woodland of the Belmont region provide the backdrop for this walk, which takes in both country roads and rural paths. Just past Combret, a ‘village of character’ perched on a hilltop, lies the highlight of this discovery trail: a unique passage through a small canyon. A wonderful cycling experience to be savoured to the full!
