This short stretch of Voie Verte (greenway) is perfect for families looking to stretch their legs in the Dordogne countryside, without having to conquer any hills climbs.
This stretch of pathway has been created to follow the Lalinde canal and has s smooth surface which makes it suitable for running, walking, biking and roller blading. This unofficial Greenway along the busy but nice Lalinde Canal, downstream from the lock (EDF factory) to the port of Lalinde.
Once you reach the town of Lalinde it is possible to continue on a further 7km. For this, switch sides and ride on the towpath on the left bank, avoiding the D703. At the next bridge you cross the D703, and have a wonderful view over the Dordogne. Cross the bridge and take the paved road towards the campsite 'Moulin de la Guillou'. You can follow this small road along the Dordogne to the beginning of the channel, in Mauzac (total + 7km from the town of Lalinde).
Alternatively, take the lovely towpath, on the right bank of the canal. This can be stony, with some grassy passages and some tarmac area. Once you reach the detention centre, take the paved road to the right, along the Dordogne to Mauzac.
