Beautiful view of the valley around Saint-Léon-sur-Vézère. In summer the river is animated by hundreds of canoeists who descend the Vézère from Montignac.

Beautiful circular hike along the Vézére and through oak forests. Hilly, but not too steep climbs. Beautiful views above the forest.

In early summer 2024, many paths in the Perigord are blocked by fallen trees. Unfortunately, I could only turn around at this point.....
