Sainte-Colombe-de-Villeneuve, les grottes de Lastournelles
Bucolic hike, with stops at the church of Nouaillac, the caves of Lastournelles, the lake of Baniérettes with its conservatory orchards of hazelnut, fig, cherry and apple trees...
This hike through the hills of the Pays de Serres will take you to the church of Nouaillac, then to the caves of Lastournelles, a true "Pearl of Aquitaine". These caves began more than twenty five million years ago, at the end of the Tertiary era. Since then, they have never ceased to be adorned with an infinite number of stalactites, stalagmites and draperies of incomparable richness. They allow us to better understand the particular geology of this part of the Lot-et-Garonne called "Pays de Serres". At the lake of Baniérettes, a conservatory orchard presents old varieties of hazelnut trees, fig trees, cherry trees, apple trees... On the final climb, you will pass by one of the many typical pigeon houses of this region.
