Villages of Perigord

70 / 166

© Philippe Roy
The well-signposted loop starts in the
center of Fanlac. It takes about an hour
and a half to discover the emblematic
landscapes of this quiet corner of the
Black Périgord region, well loved by
French author Eugène Le Roy (1836-
1907). The pretty, well-shaded route
is not too demanding; it will take you
through the little valley of Thonac on its
way to the hillside overlooking Monti-
gnac. From the hamlet of Orsinie, enjoy
thewonderful panoramic viewof Fanlac.
