Description of the walk

Departure from Saillans: Saint-Seurin Church car park.

(S) Follow the directions on the arrow sign and enter the village.

(1) Take the first street on the right, then, after Château Dalem, turn right onto the first road. After 50 metres, turn left onto the small path through the vineyards and follow the signposts. After Château Puyguilhem, cross the departmental road and follow the vineyard.

(2) Take the first road on the left. It continues as a path that descends towards the woods. Follow the signposts to Château La Brande. Go around the building on the right, then on the left. Continue through the vineyards, turn right at the signpost and climb up to the highest vineyard plot.

(3) Turn left. When you reach the paved road, turn left again. After 25 metres, at the intersection, continue straight ahead and at the next intersection, turn left and you will arrive at a fork in the road.

(4) Leave the road and follow the small path on the right at the entrance to the forest. At the end of the path, continue on the paved road at a place called Les Bernards and continue to the next intersection, where you will take a hairpin turn to the right for about 150 metres.

(5) Then turn left at the first road towards Château Bélugue. At the first intersection, turn left and then left again at the next intersection. The road winds through the vineyards until you reach the departmental road at the entrance to Saillans.

(6) Follow the D128 to the left and walk along the vineyards. At the second intersection, turn right. The road descends to the pretty port of Saillans, which is a few hundred metres away. However, if you wish to complete the loop, take the first left: you will pass a pretty wash house before arriving at the church car park.

why has CHATEAU PLAIN POINT closed off the path to the top? At least there's a sign saying " " (No access to the top of the hill). Otherwise, it's a very pretty circular loop...

very pleasant walk between vineyards and forest
unspoilt environment with very pleasant paths in the undergrowth (small stream)
ideal for getting back into shape, with a gentle gradient and no more than 1 hour 15 minutes of really leisurely walking

A very pleasant circuit, between undergrowth and quiet little roads.
Just before point 3, at a place called La Brande, dogs are asked to be tied up. The path crosses a private property with mobile sheep and poultry pens. Nice chat with the owners.

Hello,
Superb hike we did with our 4 children (aged 9, 8 and twice 3) and our 3 dogs. We and the children loved it. It took us 2 hours and 40 minutes because we took lots of breaks to take photos and rest the little ones' feet a bit. The weather was magnificent and the temperature ideal. Beautiful scenery and very few cars, a very pleasant route that we'll be doing again with friends. We only followed the route. Thanks for sharing.

Pleasant walk through vineyards and small woods.
Watch out for the sign. 1, take the right turn and STILL take the right turn after Ch Dalem otherwise you'll end up in the little hamlet at the centre of the walk! Welcome help from a winegrower to recover the route...

Lovely walk through the vineyards. The description is fairly reliable except for one section where we got lost... then found again thanks to some hunters we met near the forest... but meeting people and helping each other is what makes walking so interesting!

Superb loop, done with a trekking pushchair (be careful, there are two tough climbs!!).
Beautiful hills and views, passing through vineyards and woods as well as a tiny village full of cats.
I had a great time, 2 hours without a break because I got lost in the vineyards - you have to trust the map more than the description!
