departure from a very small cross-country circuit, then passage above the A75, for a wooded and very fluid part (smooth!). To then cross a bridge with its beautiful waterfall. We already see people coming to swim here in the summer.

This town has the particularity of having on its land many megaliths from the Neolithic era, mainly dolmens. Chanac also has a magnificent keep which dates from the 13th century. A red and gold Occitan flag flies at its top. You can't miss it! Inquire at the town hall of the village for more details.
