Boucle d'Etouars

Description

During this hike, you will discover the soul of the Green Perigord which was one of the cradles of the iron and steel industry in France. The economic activity of the region was essentially based on its forges! The Etouars forge made cast iron and naval cannons for the Rochefort arsenal. This was a region whose economic activity was essentially based on its 140 forges! These forges manufactured cast iron, steel and cast iron objects such as pots and firebacks. They were set up as close as possible to the natural resources used (iron ore: the mine; charcoal; watercourses: hydraulic energy). In Etouars, on nearly one hectare, an orchard of old varieties of pome fruits, declined under several forms of plantations: high stems, palissées forms, jouales, place of pleasant walks, wants to be also a privileged site.
