Itinérance Equestre au coeur du Périgord Vert Etape 3

Leave for 6 days and 150 km of horseback riding and discover the heritage of the Parc Naturel Régional Périgord Limousin. For this 3rd stage from Le Larret (Champagnac de Bélair), head for St Jean de Côle. You will discover the Romanesque-Byzantine church built around 1083, it has an unusual plan, unique in Périgord. Indeed it seems to be organized in a semi-circle around the apse. You will admire the Château de la Marthonie, a listed monument located in the heart of the village, which majestically dominates the pretty square of Saint Jean. One of the most famous residents of this building was Mondot de la Marthonie, first president of the Court of the Parliament of Bordeaux and then in Paris, adviser to the Queen Mother when Francis I went to Italy. Finally, even if you don't use it because of the very slippery pebbles, you will notice the stone bridge that spans the côle.
