Access

The departure point is 12 km from Eygurande: follow the D21 towards Couffy. The town hall is 1 km on the left before the village.

Ambiance

The region was marked by the presence of the Templars (Templar tombs in the church at Courteix) and by the Seigneury of Châteauvert (medieval tomb in the church at Couffy). At the Bois des Trois Faulx, the Maquis stele, and nearby, the sapes (basic shelters used as hiding places) used by Maquis members and recently restored, you can recall the commitment of the Resistance fighters. This circuit offers a succession of open views over the Plateau de Millevaches and the Monts d'Auvergne, passages in the undergrowth and crossings of typical villages of the Haute-Corrèze. There are two possible starting points, the church at Courteix or the town hall in Couffy-sur-Sarsonne, from which you join the main circuit making a round trip.
