Penne-d'Agenais, Auradou, dans les coteaux nord du Pays de Serres
One of the most demanding circuits in the department. From the bottom of the narrow valleys, the paths trace straight on the steep pechs. Fortunately, some passages on long plateaus offer resting beaches and appreciable areas of shade in summer.
