La Croix-Blanche, la balade du Bernou

This circuit alternates panoramic passages in the north, and crossings of woods and shaded paths with rural lanes in the southern part. You will discover interesting heritage features such as the Round Tower or the castle of Fauguerolles and you will enjoy exceptional views all along the route. Originally, the village was called Fauguerolles and included two parishes: Saint-Caprais-de-Boussorp and Saint-Pierre-de-la-Feuille. The national road linking Limoges to Tarbes crossed the village from one side to the other. Built in 1769, this road was very busy between Agen and Villeneuve-sur-Lot. A relay located at the crossing of this axis with that of Laroque-Timbaut/Laugnac carried the name of the large white cross established in this place. In 1839, to avoid confusion with a commune in the Marmandais, "Fauguerolles" became "La Croix Blanche".
