La Voie Verte, Perigueux
A wonderful 'Green Way' for walkers, cyclists and inline skaters
A 23km trail that follows the Isle river through the Perigord countryside from Trelissac (Charrieras) to Marsac (La Roche).
Enjoy the many varied along this green way, from forests to river and local heritage as well as shaded areas and relaxation. This development also reflects a real commitment for alternative to car transportation. Bike lanes and specific walking paths invite you to move easily while enjoying the beautiful scenery of the Dordgone.
As Perigueux is situated in the middle of this walking and cycling trail, you can continue in either direction. You can also make this walk or bike ride as long or as short as you wish. There are plenty of services along the route, including toilets and parking.
Worth knowing
Parallell to the Green Way you will find that 21km of water course (La Voie Bleue) has been created on the river Isle just for canoes. Eleven canoe passages and twelve launch points have been constructed to allow not only keen canoeists but also those who simply want to have a little river trip to explore the riverside calmly and quietly. In addition you will find four waterside stopping places provided with toilets, running water, rest areas, carparks and information points allow you to stop a while and rejoin the Green Way.
Who should go
This is a good walking area for those with reduced mobility and for families with young children. Not only are the paths smooth and easy to negotiate but you will also find four outdoor playgrounds are built on the Greenway.
