Description of the walk

In Landiras, on the D11, at the place called "Biagaut" on the Balizac road, park in the small car park opposite Rue du 15 Août (Menon district).

(S/E) Take the small section of road that leads towards Biagaut (just opposite Rue du 15 Août). After 100 metres, you will start the hike on the forest path at the last houses, which starts opposite you. Continue straight ahead on this path.

(1) At the end of the path, you will come to a T-junction. Turn right. After 200 metres, you will come to an X-junction with a wooden post (on your left) with wooden arrows pointing the way. Take the path on the left at a right angle. You will come to the Tursan stream, opposite the houses.

(2) Follow the path that goes up to the left. You will see a green concrete pillar on your left in the corner. Stay on the sandy path and follow it to the road. Turn right and cross the stream again via the bridge. At the next crossroads, turn right onto the path following the sign for "Circular de Budos". Stay on this slightly downhill path at a small crossroads. Continue on the left, your path climbs and joins the houses further up. Ignore the small single tracks.

(3) When you reach the houses (Perron) and the small square, turn right between the two houses. Follow the fence on your right and you will see a tree house on your left. Take the path in front of you. You will reach a crossroads of paths at a place called Coudéou.

(4) Turn right and go down the path to the bend that goes up to the left. At the bottom, you will reach the Tursan stream. Follow it for a while.

On your way, you will see several marked trails or crossroads, but ignore them and stay on the same path, continuing straight ahead. At the end, you will reach a wide sandy track at a T-junction. Go down to the right until you reach the road. At the road, turn right. Be careful! This is the only section of road on the hike. Cross the bridge and you will come to another crossroads.

(5) Take the path that branches off to the left. Continue straight ahead, ignoring the path that branches off to the left.

(6) At the T-junction, take the wide path to the right, which is the Pont du Ca path. You will come to an X-junction.

(7) Turn right onto the track and stay on it, ignoring the paths on the right. You will come to another four-way crossroads.

(8) Turn onto the path on the left. You will then see a path leading off to the left towards some pidgeon hunting huts. Ignore this path and continue straight ahead. Next, at the small fork, take the path that climbs to the right.
At the top, ignore the path on the left and continue straight ahead, heading north. Descend to reach a clearing at a place called Canteloup.

(9) Continue straight ahead, ignoring the path that branches off to the right. Then ignore all the paths that branch off to the right and left. Join the tarmac road at the houses.

At the road, turn right and then right again at the "give way" sign. Continue to the stop sign. Opposite is the car park where you started (S/E).

A beautiful, peaceful hike through the countryside of the Gironde moors.
No difficulty and suitable even in heavy rain as the ground is sandy.

The fires in Landiras had no impact on the route
I don't know how to suggest a change to the route because what we found is perfect

Hello, the route needs to be updated because the track dates back to 2018, I believe, and the route has changed following the fires of 2022 and successive floods (storms).
I am no longer in the area, so I have never had the opportunity to redo it.
Kind regards.

We shortened the hike by crossing a small bridge between points 2 and 3
We encountered a problem during our reconnaissance on 21 April, shortly after point 8, where the path becomes a river, so we turned left onto the Guillos path and then the Batsère road, which brought us back to the trail shortly after point 9
All our members enjoyed this hike, which was almost entirely off-road

There is an error in the directions between markers 8 and 9. Following the description, I ended up on a small road in a place called La Gourgouille. I was able to get back on track by following green markings (2nd path on the right after La Gourgouille). There is a green marker at the start of the path. I think that after the hunting huts, you should turn right and not left. Otherwise, it's a pleasant walk in the woods, with not too many flooded sections except towards the end before the village, which I was able to bypass by going through the woods.

Flooding around point 9 made the path impassable. We set off along a faint trail heading due east to reach a path marked on the map ("open street map randonnée"), then crossed the industrial area to finish our route on the D11.

A pleasant and easy walk in the forest. However, the landscape is rather monotonous. Please note that between 8 and 9 there is an error in the description and the path is flooded.

Hello

Yes, I do download routes, but as you must know, we are currently confined to a maximum distance of 1 km from our homes, so I dream about it, but I don't hike the routes I download and I prepare my next hikes

Best regards

There is an error in the route description. After the palombieres (pigeon hunting hides) at La Fourche, you should take the path on the right that goes uphill, not the path on the left.
Walking at a leisurely pace, it took us 2½ hours, not 3 hours 15 minutes

Hello. Yes, the paths and trails leading to our home have suffered greatly lately...
We will have to redo them once everything has dried out properly.
Kind regards.

Great route through the forest, but impassable after heavy rainfall shortly after point 5. We had to make a fairly long detour through the forest, which had become swampy and had no paths. Around points 8 and 9, the same thing happened: the river seemed to have changed course and was now running across the path. However, it was possible to follow the path parallel to the water until it became drier, provided you weren't afraid of getting your socks a little wet!

A very beautiful, easy hike through pine trees with sections in deciduous woods, which break up the monotony. Impeccable route and very good description. Just one small error to note: in (8) "Then, at the small fork, take the path that climbs to the left": the path is on the right.
The hike is almost entirely on forest paths (just two short sections on the road).
