When you arrive in Villebois-Lavalette, don't leave with an empty stomach and take the time to taste a couple of Cornuelles. This delicious dry biscuit made from aniseed has been the pride of the village for 200 years. You can find it in any bakery.
With a full stomach, you can now set off on your journey towards Ronsenac. Legends surround the village fountain. It is said that if you turn your back on the well and throw a coin over your shoulder, you will be married within a year. Its pure water also gives it some miraculous virtues, earning it the name "Legendary Fountain".
Return to the road, then go down to Gurat. You have finally arrived at the monolithic chapel of Saint George! This building served as a shelter for pilgrims to Santiago de Compostela. It is divided into several rooms and levels. Once outside, enjoy a breath of fresh air in the alkaline marshes of the Lizonne valley. You may be lucky enough to come across rare species such as the European Otter, the European Kingfisher or the Green Tree Frog.
