24160 SAINT-MEDARD-D'EXCIDEUIL
The Loue is a tributary of the Isle which flows in a valley that can take on the appearance of a gorge. The proposed route allows you to go down to the river either by making a return trip from Ganduras, or by going out on the left bank by the hamlet of Gautherie and enjoying a beautiful view of the hamlet of Essendieras, which is home to a rich history that begins in the center of the village with a Romanesque church with a bell tower-wall, overlooking a square surrounded by stone houses. Going down to the river, a good fountain welcomed the processions coming from the church, to sprinkle themselves and make ablutions. Its virtues were numerous, and it could calm pains or favour a marriage. A little further on, the remains of a Gallic wall dating from 600 or 500 BC appear.
