Boucle de Bouch

This sportive route will take you along a timeless path that passes near the chapel of St Sour. Then you will walk along the Coly brook to discover typical Perigord hamlets between the Coly valley and the terrassonnais causses from where you will have many points of view.

When you arrive in Terrasson-Lavilledieu, you will be at the entrance of the Vézère valley, the valley of Man... You will discover in the staircase lanes, old houses, an abbey church from the 15th century, two bridges, one of which is from the 12th century, a magnificent hillside which once sheltered Saint Sour, the founding father of Terrasson, as well as the Jardins de l'Imaginaire (Gardens of the Imagination) retracing the history of the gardens of mankind through the ages.

The Bouch loop passes on this hillside and allows you to walk away on the heights of the city and have a superb view on the valley before walking on the causse and going down on the Coly valley by the hamlet of Bouch

You will walk through the woods and arrive in the village of La Chapelle Mouret whose chapel dates back to the 12th century. The return journey is via the lime kilns and the other side of the hill.
