This circuit will delight cyclists in search of paths that reflect the image of the Haute-Corrèze, such as paths through the extensive deciduous forests, winding roads, beautiful forest tracks, meadow edges and the chance to ride through charming hamlets.
With moderate gradients, it will delight amateurs as much as the most experienced, eager to discover this beautiful corner of Corrèze without too much difficulty.
Favourite: the narrow path lined with ancient stones just before reaching the hamlet of Bonnesaigne.
A shorter circuit (n°15) will delight beginners, and a more difficult one (n°17) will please the more sporty.

Heritage siteReplacement stone
The abbey of Bonnesaigne was abandoned by the abbesses in the 18th century after numerous pillages and fires. Like many other buildings, it was then transformed into a stone quarry. The stones were used to make other buildings. Today you can still see them in the village of Bonnesaigne used in the village houses.

Small patrimonyTraditional winch and peg wells
This type of well is not very common in the Haute-Corrèze because the water table is not as deep as in the north of the Limousin. It consists of a wooden structure that supports the winch and peg system.
