Dans la roue de Lawrence d'Arabie Etape 4 Hautefort-La Coquille
IGN cards
Description
In 1908, a young English student, T E Lawrence, was fascinated by the medieval period. He decided to cycle around France on the trail of Richard the Lionheart, and this fourth stage will take him from Hautefort to La Coquille. After Hautefort, head for Cherveix Cubas and its 13th century "lantern of the dead", then continue to Excideuil and its castle. You will then arrive in the picturesque village of Preyssac d'Excideuil and the road will lead you to Payzaco where you can visit the Vaux paper mill from the early 17th century. Lawrence then continues on the Richard the Lionheart road, which he joins at Saint Yrieix la Perche. For practical reasons, we suggest a junction to La Coquille where there is a railway station, passing through Jumilhac le Grand whose castle towers inspired one of the most famous engraver, Gustave Doré.
