Description

Vaux-Lavalette is a small village located on a ridge connecting the Lizonne valley to the main ridge. It is classified in the Fins Bois, in the Cognac appellation d'origine contrôlée area and is also part of the "AOP" Noix du Périgord.

Along the path, you will discover vast natural horizons, as well as many elements of the built and natural heritage of the region.

The walk will lead you to an orchid protection area (Natura 2000 site). Then, the route will bring you back to Vaux-Lavalette, perched near the path of the crests which separates the canton of Villebois from that of Montmoreau where you will cross the valleys and finally cross the font of the threshold and its wash-house before returning to your starting point.

It is possible to combine this circuit with the n°16.
