Dans la roue de Lawrence d'Arabie Etape 1 Castillon la Bataille-Mussidan

Description

In 1908, a young English student, T E Lawrence, became fascinated with the medieval period. He decided to cycle around France on the trail of Richard the Lionheart. After Castillon, he heads for St Michel de Montaigne where he will discover with emotion the tower of the Great Man. Then he heads for the Isle valley. He crosses Montpeyroux, which keeps the traces of a rich history. Past the ruined dungeon of the castle of Gurson, he crosses Carsac and Saint Martin and admires their Romanesque churches. Arriving at Ménestérol behind the church, the river bears witness to the developments made in the 19th century for river transport. The traditional cob and wood architecture of some of the houses is a reminder of the proximity of the Double forest, and as you go up the valley, the bridges over the river alternate with the tunnels under the railway until you reach the station at Mussidan.
