This path consists of a large circuit that can join either at Courteix or at Couffy, making a round trip. There is also a shorter route for this long circuit, which is described in detail in a separate sheet.
The departure point is 14 km from Eygurande: follow the D 21 headed towards Couffy, then the 161 towards Courteix.
La région a été marquée par la présence des Templiers (présence de tombes templières dans l’église de Courteix) mais aussi par la seigneurie de Châteauvert (tombe médiévale dans l’église de Couffy). Au Bois des Trois Faulx, la stèle du maquis, et à proximité les sapes (abris sommaires servant de cachettes) de maquisards récemment reconstituées, rappellent l’engagement des Résistants. Ce circuit offre une succession de vues dégagées sur le Plateau de Millevaches et les Monts d’Auvergne, de passages en sous-bois et de traversées de villages typiques de la Haute-Corrèze.Deux points de départ possibles, l’église de Courteix ou la mairie de Couffy-sur-Sarsonne, à partir desquelles on rejoint la boucle principale par un aller-retour.
