A 7.2-kilometre walking loop starts in Singleyrac; the church and town hall also provide concrete historical points of reference. This gives you two distinct focuses for planning your trip: how to allocate time for a loop and the architectural history of individual buildings. If you are considering Singleyrac as a place to stay, these themes can help you plan your days around routes and local history.
Walking Loop and Time Required
The Boucle de l’Ayguessou is a 7.2-kilometre walking loop that starts in Singleyrac. The route is classified as easy for walking, horse riding and mountain biking. The estimated times are 2 hours 30 minutes on foot, 1 hour 15 minutes on horseback and 1 hour 5 minutes by mountain bike. This makes it possible to compare the time required for each activity: the walking time is 1 hour 25 minutes longer than the mountain biking estimate and 1 hour 15 minutes longer than the horseback estimate. The shorter times relate to other activities, not to a faster walking pace. The route passes through vineyards in the Bergerac appellation, adding a specific landscape context to the distance and time information.
Routes and Access
Another perspective on the routes is provided by Stage 13 bis of the Chemin d’Amadour: it runs from Eymet via Singleyrac towards Bergerac. While the Boucle begins in Singleyrac and forms a loop, this stage places the town between Eymet and Bergerac. Singleyrac is also accessible by road via the D15 towards Castillonnès. The town is also at the centre of the Circuit des Bastides. This provides different points of reference for planning: the start of a loop, the direction of a stage, a road connection and a regional route network.
Church and Town Hall
The church in Singleyrac retains Romanesque walls dating from the 12th century and was rebuilt in the 19th century. It has two naves, including a side aisle. The walls and the rebuilding represent different historical layers; the information about the naves also describes the layout of the church interior. The town hall has a different history of use: it is housed in a 13th-century building that previously served as a bakery. The mullioned windows added in the 16th century and the visible half-timbering on part of the first floor add specific architectural details to the building’s history.
Fontaine des Jandis, Wine and Leisure
The Fontaine des Jandis is protected by a small stone structure with a pitched roof and supplies a washhouse. The focus here is on the protective structure and its connection to the washhouse. There is also a specific connection to wine: the wines of Château Singleyrac come from a 20-hectare vineyard. Of this, 12 hectares are planted with red grape varieties and 8 hectares with white varieties; this composition may change over time.
The leisure facilities listed for Singleyrac include a water feature, a swimming pool, tennis courts, mini golf and walking trails. Two riding centres are also listed as activities. If you plan to visit one of them, confirm its availability directly. This allows you to choose between the walking loop, local history and other leisure options according to what matters most during your stay.
