Departure from the Bazadais Tourist Office in Bazas.
(S/E) From the Tourist Office, head towards the cathedral, staying under the arcades.
(1) At the end of the arcades, turn right onto Rue Théophile de Servières, which slopes downwards. At the end of the street, turn right onto the dirt track (Promenade de la Brèche).
(2) At the end of the dirt track, turn left towards the wash house and walk along the communal vegetable gardens. At the wash house, turn right towards the Moulin de la Glory. When you reach the mill, turn left and walk along the stream until you reach a wooden bridge.
(3) Cross the Beuve and join the road. Take the road on the left. Continue for 50 m and turn right towards Saint-Vivien. Follow the path uphill to a small road after passing two properties and a bamboo grove.
(4) When you reach the small road, turn right and follow it for about 200 m.
(5) Take the first left towards Paouat. The small road soon turns into a path through the moorland and then a forest track. Continue straight ahead for about 1 km before reaching a tarmac road.
(6) At the end of this road, turn right and follow the new road.
(7) Cross the bridge over the Ruisseau de Guillemot stream.
(8) At Pèches, continue straight ahead towards Sauviac (ignore the small road on the right). After a left-hand bend followed by a right-hand bend, you will see Sauviac Church: the perfect place for a break.
(9) From Sauviac, retrace your steps back to Pèches.
(8) Take the small road on the left that you passed on your way there.
This road climbs slightly at first, crosses Mouzès, turns right, passes under a railway line and then turns left. Cross Lardon and walk alongside moorland and vineyards.
(5) After about 3 km, you will arrive back at Paouat. Turn left towards Caussit and La Bouchère.
(10) At the end of the street, turn right. You will arrive at the foot of the ramparts of Bazas and soon reach the Place de la Cathédrale (S/E).
