Hiking in the Dordogne Region

Last Sunday, we followed up our Saturday trip to the Sarlat Market with a hike along the trail that parallels the road into Sarlat.  The trail appeared to be a renovated old railroad line.  We started our hike in Peyrillac et Millac and walked a little over 5k (one way) to a little past Rouffillac.  During our hike, we saw a number of local hikers who were doing a planned hike along a marked route, part of which overlapped with the trail we were on.  Each of those hikers wore a badge, and almost all of them were carrying hiking poles.  One of the highlights of the walk, for us, was hiking through a lighted 480 meter long rail tunnel.

The building by which we parked to begin our hike. It was also a support site for the group hike taking place.
