Description of the walk

Town hall car park.

(S/E) From the town hall car park, turn left onto Route des Lavandes and walk for 300 metres.

(1) After the last grey house on the right, at number 1402, take the road downhill towards Saltré and Orliac, then follow the grassy path to a road and turn right for 100 metres at a place called Bois de Larché.

(2) At the last house in this locality, at number 371, go down the grassy path on the left, along the wire fence (private passage authorised). Continue to the Chapelle Saint-Martin.

(3) 150 metres after passing below the Saint-Martin Chapel, turn left onto the bridge crossing the Saint-Martin stream, then turn left onto the path climbing up the edge of the woods towards Mateau.

(4) Turn right onto the ridge road, which offers beautiful views for about 1 km.

(5) After passing the access road to Château Bernède, turn left at the edge of the woods onto the grassy path (private passage authorised).
Then follow the path that descends and winds its way through the woods, marked with yellow signs.
After leaving the woods and crossing an open area, the path crosses another wooded area before reaching a road.

(6) Turn left towards the Ruisseau de Néguevieille stream. Continue for about 50 metres, then, just before the bridge, carefully descend to the right along the Ruisseau de Néguevieille stream and follow it to the access road to Château de la Salle Bertrand.

(7) Follow it to the left, following the yellow markings. Continue to the D127 and carefully follow it to the right for 500 metres.

(8) Turn right towards Grayssas on the C1, Route des Lavandes.
Cross the bridge, then turn right onto the small road towards Longueville for 50 metres and turn left at the edge of the woods.

(9) On the climb, after 50 metres on a wide stony path, turn right onto a steep path, marked by a faint yellow arrow.
When you reach the plateau, the path offers wide panoramic views before crossing another wooded area and reaching a road leading to the Bois de Larché, which you passed on the way there.

(2) Continue to the last house, descend to the left onto the path you took at the start of the route to return to the starting point via Orliac and Saltré (S/E).

A very beautiful hike, very well signposted throughout the route. The route on the app does not correspond to point 2, so you need to follow the directions on the map or, even better, the yellow signs. Passing through woods and forests, the little chapel is a lovely surprise. Don't hesitate to visit St Maurin Abbey, 7 km away.

A pleasant, easy hike with very little road walking, alternating between paths and woodland. I enjoyed it very much in the fine weather.

A beautiful hike on a route in very good condition. Well marked and very clear; thanks to the trail markers...
Please note: check the route on the sign in front of the town hall as the first section has been modified for the better.
So follow the new markings. Special feature: many of the paths used are private, but the town hall has obtained permission
from the owners, as indicated by signs. These paths do not appear on the IGN map.
Regrets: the route passes close to two castles that cannot be seen.
Take a look at Valence d'Agen 6km. Beautiful circular wash houses... PK

A route set in pleasant surroundings. Very well signposted, with wooded and shaded sections. Definitely worth discovering. We didn't see anyone else, but that's not important.

A very pleasant circular route, mainly through woodland and along paths lined with streams. Excellent signage (yellow markings), particularly useful in the woods . Very few difficulties; we enjoyed our sandwiches at point 9, taking advantage of the beautiful view.
