At Le Bugue, from the Tourist Office, drive towards Périgueux. After 3.5 km, leave the D710 and turn left towards Saint-Avit-de-Vialard. The starting point is 3.5 km away in the centre of the village of Saint-Avit, in the car park near the town hall.
(S/E) From the start sign for the walk, with your back to the town hall, take the tarmac road on the left towards Paunat (Route de Vialard) for 200 m. Follow the road until you reach the first footpath.
(1) Take the dirt track on the left which joins the Chemin de Pel Chenal. Follow it to the next path junction.
(2) Turn left. After about 10 minutes on this path, turn right onto the small road (Chemin des Tilleuls). Walk through the small hamlet, then, at the junction with the road, go straight on along a path through the woods to rejoin the road further on.
(3) Turn immediately left onto the path that descends into the valley. The end of the descent is a little steep. Turn slightly to the right to walk along the edge of a field, then continue across the meadow towards the houses on the hill. You’ll come to the path leading to the houses at Cavialle.
(4) Head uphill. After a further 10 minutes, you’ll reach the D703 (Route de Bergerac); turn right and then immediately right again onto the small road towards Saint-Avit-de-Vialard (Circular Route of Vialard). Follow it for about 1 kilometre until you reach a very gentle incline.
(5) Leave the road by turning left into the woods. Continue to the end of the path.
(6) Turn right, then take the small road on the left (Route de Bara Bahau). Go round three bends and you’ll come to a path at the third bend.
(7) Turn right and head straight ahead. Continue along the path to the junction and turn right, following signs for the Vialard Circular Trail. You’ll reach the Route du Camping; turn right to return to the car park (S/E).
