No cars, some good compacted gravel, nice areas for a picnic (and maybe even to pitch a tent and bivouac ? Not tested). What more can you wish for ?

Very nice view over the valley and over the chestnut copses, once used by the feuillardiers, craftsmen from Périgord-Limousin who made the slats used to make the barrels of the region's winegrowers. https://bit.ly/3egoFjY

Château de Brie, from the 15th century, on the tourist route of Richard Coeur de Lion. Visits to the castle possible on Sundays and public holidays from April to October. Also worth seeing is the "Little world of automatons" which exhibits 60 animated characters from around the world to music. https://www.chateaudebrie.fr/

Montbrun castle, in the heart of the Périgord Limousin regional natural park, is surely one of the most beautiful in Limousin. At the edge of a pond and in a very beautiful green setting, the site is full of charm and steeped in history. It is located on the "Richard Coeur de Lion" tourist route. The castle can be visited between May and October.
