GR®636
From Bernasse (Dordogne) to Lacapelle-Biron (Lot-et-Garonne)
|
|
The GR636 is a true immersion into the Upper Agenais Périgord region, an area where the landscape undulates between verdant valleys and limestone plateaus, traversing lands that were the scene of Franco-English rivalry during the Hundred Years' War. The architectural heritage is the highlight of the hike, with the route passing through emblematic fortified towns (bastides). Castillonnès, a 13th-century new town, and especially Monflanquin, listed among the "Most Beautiful Villages of France," bear witness to rigorous urban planning and a rich medieval history. In terms of nature, hikers will find themselves in a mosaic of landscapes: orchards of Ente plum trees, fields of sunflowers, and groves of oak trees. As you approach Lacapelle-Biron, the environment becomes more forested and wild, marking the transition to the Périgord Noir massif.
