Park in the Parc du Cypressat car park in Cenon.
(S/E): Leave the car park by going down the left-hand side to the east of the esplanade. Follow the wide forest track, turn left after a short, sometimes slippery descent. You will reach the rainwater retention basins
(1). Go around them and continue along the semi-private road that runs alongside the drinking water reservoirs. You will reach the Côte de l'Empereu crossroads.
(2) Cross it and then turn left onto Côte de Montrepos, using the pedestrian crossings and paying close attention to traffic. Walk up Côte de Montrepos for a few metres and then turn right onto Côte de Caumont. Reach the crossroads at Rue de Sybirol
(3) Go up the small staircase and go through the metal gate that leads into the Domaine de Sybirol housing estate. Turn right, walk along the meadows, then cross and go up the pedestrian path between the houses. Leave the housing estate and turn right onto Rue Pierre Sémirot. At thethird street on the right, at the calvary, turn right onto Chemin du Tirecul. Walk past the former astronomical observatory of the University of Bordeaux. Note the domes and radio telescopes left in place on the left.
After the last houses, carefully approach the often slippery descent to the rust-coloured gate of the Parc des Coteaux de Floirac.
(4) Take the metal staircase and follow the path that descends gently to the right through the wooded park to Avenue Pasteur.
At the park exit, cross Avenue Pasteur and continue north. Cross Cours Gambetta and continue on the same pavement until you reach the Boulevard de l'Entre Deux Mers crossroads.
Cross at the pedestrian crossing, paying close attention to traffic, and continue to the bottom of Rue du Maréchal Gallieni.
(5) Turn left and walk up to the aptly named Place Bellevue.
(6) On the left side of Place Bellevue, don't miss the esplanade and its panoramic view of Bordeaux.
Turn around and cross the street, then continue along Rue du Maréchal Gallieni.
After about 100 metres, turn right and continue to the esplanade of the church and Saint-Romain cemetery. Here too, the panoramic view of Bordeaux is breathtaking.
At the cemetery exit, turn right and follow the path that leads to the Korian facility: Les Hauts de Cenon. As soon as possible, turn left and then join the street that leads to the Parc du Cypressat car park slightly to the right below (S/E).
