Lauzun / Minerve, grande randonnée dans les coteaux de Guyenne

This long hike goes through the long plateaus located in the north of the canton of Lauzun. Lauzun, whose name comes from the Latin "losa" meaning "lark", is nicknamed the "Hill of Larks". The Caumont family, a large feudal family of the region, settled in Lauzun in the 12th century. This ancient county was made a duchy in 1692 for Antonin Nompar de Caumont La Force (the famous Duke of Lauzun) and then in 1766 for Armand Louis de Gontaud-Biron. The castle dominates the site, it has in its left part a turret of the XVth century decorated with a door surmounted by the coat of arms of Caumont-Lauzun. An 18th century dome links this part to the right wing of Renaissance style.
