Maison de Payrac

Point 1: From Place Robert Roque, at the Rieumontagné farm, go up towards the museum, take the path to the left of the building under the arch. Continue straight ahead to find a paved road. At the fork, go right for 30 m before turning left. At the crossroads, cross the road. It ascends slightly, becomes a track, and sinks into the forest. Follow old terraces overlooking the lake before descending to the left. At the plateau, turn left, join the road and cross the bridge.
Point 2: Cross the RD62 and climb straight ahead to enter a magnificent beech forest. At the intersection, go right. After the descent, turn left to pass between meadows. At the crossroads, go right along a rocky path before joining another track (beautiful lake view).
Point 3: Follow the track to the left for 400m. At the intersection, a few meters after a wide left bend, go right. Leave a track that immediately climbs right to continue straight on for 350 m. Join another track and continue the ascent up to a wide crossroad of several tracks.
Point 4: Continue straight to reach Maison de Payrac below. Continue the trail after the barbecue to the mobile saw, turn right, climb to see the jasse and its fittings, continue the trail that climbs. Pass in front of a charcoal kiln.
Point 5: Back at the wide crossroad, take back the outward path for 200 m. At the first intersection, go right. The track descends for 800 m, crosses a ford, climbs again 100 m further on, continues to the right, then climbs left to rejoin the outward path. Descend and retrace your steps to return to the point then to the starting point.
