Located in the Dordogne department of the Aquitaine region, the Saint-Pardoux – Thiviers greenway follows a former railway line in the heart of the Périgord Vert. For 17 km, the route is wild and winds through the undergrowth; it passes through no villages, and therefore offers no water sources. The region is very hilly, and small roads and paths cross the greenway via bridges, often spanning the cutting or sometimes passing under it.
