Pros: Very easy hike on flat terrain and very easy to follow with the trail. Cons: Somewhat monotonous scenery and the edges of the ponds are littered with fly-tipped rubbish.

A somewhat monotonous route, vineyards, pine forests, vineyards, pine forests... apart from the three châteaux at the start of the hike, nothing particularly interesting.

A very pleasant route at the beginning, where you pass magnificent wine châteaux, but far too much of it is on roads or paths very close to roads, perhaps 30%
Easy hike but too dangerous
to do with children:🚶🏻‍♂️

A pleasant walk through vineyards and forest, providing shelter from the sun. However, part of the path along the electricity pylons was not very clear (tall grass and uprooted trees blocking the way) and was uninteresting.

A lovely circular that offers hikers beautiful views of the Martillac vineyards.
There is just one small problem with a fence that forces us to go around a few houses – already reported by other hikers.

we got a bit lost walking along the first wood, but thanks to Greece à la carte, we found our way back on track. A really nice hike

The route winds around the high-voltage power line (400 KV...), under which we travel for 500 metres, making some of us shiver. The banks of the pond near point 6 serve as a landfill site and, at the same time, a motocross track. their drivers try to make more noise than the wealthy Bordeaux residents who make vroom vroom noises in their planes, as the Saucats Léognan aerodrome is nearby. To avoid the busy main road, we took a more westerly route and found ourselves in an area where the ground had been stripped, no doubt to make way for a new quarry...

The only attractive scenery is near the village, notably two pretty wine cellars. The rest is best avoided....

A very pleasant hike, but best done in dry weather: the first part takes you through the vineyards of Graves.
Be careful! There is no shade, so you will need the Visorando app to find your way through this wine-growing maze. The second part of the hike takes you along forest paths in the shade in summer. The last kilometre is on a country road that is not very busy at weekends, with wide enough verges to walk on.

A pleasant circular, completed on 26 April, the first day of rain in Aquitaine, but it went well. Be careful along the edge of the main road; you can veer off towards the woods or vineyards, especially in dry weather.

hello: I enjoyed this hike through vineyards and woods in good weather, despite a small mistake in the route that was quickly corrected. I must do it again with a friend
I didn't meet any hikers on this route, but I did meet some hikers doing a different route, equipped with their route description, with whom I exchanged a few words. Thank you, Visorando.

i couldn't get to Bel Air. It was difficult to follow the power line, which was a shame because we lost track of the route
but it was enjoyable. I'll do it again

Hello.
We missed the barrier "opposite Château Haut Nouchet" because we were chatting. So we turned left a little further on and got back on track by going around the pond.
After that, the descriptions are perhaps a little less explicit, but the route on the map is very clear. So I switched to using only the map.
I'll ask for a GPS as a gift sometime.
Thank you for the website.

We followed the description and quickly got lost. So we forgot about it and just followed the route, and everything went perfectly. A very pleasant walk in the end.
