The proposed route starts at La Gardette tram station (line A). If you come by car, you can park in the park-and-ride car park (paying) or inside the Château Séguinaud park.
(S/E) Take the Chemin du Grand Came (heading west, slightly downhill). You can enter the grounds of Château Séguinaud and walk along the fence or continue along the path to a crossroads with a secondary entrance to the grounds.
You are now on the GR°°®°° metropolitan trail, marked in red and white.
Cross the park more or less along the hillside, passing under magnificent tall trees (including an enormous plane tree). Leave the woods and walk along a small oval-shaped retention basin. Turn left onto a slightly descending carriageway heading west.
Shortly afterwards, you will come to a slightly complicated crossroads (see photo).
(1) Two paths lead off to the right; take the one that descends slightly, not the one that climbs. The path leads back into the woods, and you are now in Panoramis Park. Shortly afterwards, emerge from the woods and walk more or less alongside the railway line (Bordeaux-Angoulême), climbing slightly. You will pass near the bottom of a large steel staircase with a gate and handrail in the middle.
(2) Leave it for the return journey. Continue straight ahead. At the end of this path, you will come out in front of a residential area. Turn right uphill, heading east. The path leads to a small street that climbs quite steeply, Avenue de Rome. Continue to the crossroads with Rue de Kleinostheim.
(3) Turn left uphill. At the end of this street, there are steps leading to a semi-wooded plateau, which you can reach by going through a gate reserved for pedestrians (chicane). This is Parc Rozin. Continue along the path, staying as close to the hillside as possible or going slightly uphill. Do not join the street that borders this park, but go around it, ending up on the pavement (which slopes steeply). You will arrive at the crossroads of Avenue Lucien-Victor Meunier and Square du Jardin Public.
(4) Turn left into this street ("square") and follow it to the end to cross a chicane allowing you to enter the park. This time, walk along the bottom (southbound) and rejoin your outward route. When you reach the chicane, however, continue through the park: this will take you a little higher up Avenue de Rome. Walk down this avenue to reach the junction with Rue Kleinostheim.
(3) Follow the outward route back to the crossroads with the steps you passed earlier.
(2) At the bottom of the steps, leave the main path and climb the hill using the steps. When you reach the top, bear slightly right until you reach the Panoramis viewpoint.
(5) Go back a little, then take a path on the right, going down the hill and ending up in front of another residential area (Rue Léo Lagrange). Return to the complicated crossroads you passed on the way there.
(1) From here, retrace your steps to return to the Château Séguinaud park park-and-ride car park (S/E).
