Short walk in the countryside:
The route is very easy, but keep your phone handy as it is not well signposted.
Bring mosquito repellent for the section along the Isle.
Local fishermen are always happy to invite you for a drink.

The river L'ISLE was on flood alert at the time of the reconnaissance on 6 March; we had to adapt the route (for the reconnaissance) because the banks of the Isle and the proposed alternative route were under water.

On 16 March, however, we were able to take the proposed alternative route without any problems.
There was a lot of water everywhere because of the heavy rain of the previous days.

I used geolocation on the downloaded route and tracking was extremely easy.

A 12 km circuit to be done after a few days without rain and in winter to admire the castles (not hidden by vegetation).

Very well signposted. But lots of roads and few paths through the countryside.

A little difficult at the start, but a lovely walk with varied landscapes and pretty castles that are well signposted and whose origins are explained (a little culture is good too!!!).
We did it in the rain, and didn't get to enjoy some of the views on the horizon, so we'll come back later in the season.
The climbs, with a difference in altitude of 150, make this tour even more challenging.

It is interesting to look at the signs that you come across along the route, the church is worth a visit; the key can be requested from the town hall.

Hello, Tour completed for the 3rd time since 2018 (including one by bike: be careful in wet weather!). As pleasant as ever. The description is reliable, especially if you've prepared your route beforehand on the recommended IGN map. In any case, it certainly doesn't deserve a full page of reviews, especially by "experienced" hikers. Thank you very much to all those who suggest these walks to us - let's not discourage them!

It was a nice little walk, and we enjoyed the peace and quiet and the fact that there was very little traffic on the roads... It's a shame that the part between (1) and (2) was really inaccessible, so we had to cut it short!
Thanks for the route and good luck...

A very pleasant route through woodland, vineyards and the road, but virtually free of traffic - a bit tough at the end as it climbs quite a bit. It's a shame that the stretch along the river is not well maintained as there are many carrelets to discover. The description lacks a few explanations, which is why it's useful to have the mobile app so you don't miss any of the paths;

Hiking couple. With many hikes to our credit in the high mountains.
We hiked on Monday 25 May in beautiful sunshine and perfect weather conditions. Hiking in this period of confinement forcing us to stay within the 100 km sector.
We wanted to discover the Libourne region.
We don't often have the opportunity to make comments, so we feel obliged to correct this walk in terms of 1° the description, which was very difficult to follow and understand.
2°: the quality of the walk itself (to the detriment, unfortunately, of the existing comments). Fortunately, we had the Visorando GPS, which almost saved us at many points along the route.
Without any value judgement on the part of the author, the many crossing points expressed in T or Y are far from easy to understand.
For example: several points
point 1: go along the river the 1st crossroads is not in a T but in a Y after "the only" hanging net The river can't be gone along, you have to turn right.
At point 2, an important correction! It's not to take the slightly left-hand path opposite, but the path on the right towards the hamlet of Le Pinson; (at this point we had to turn back after realising it thanks to our GPS, but we had walked 2 x 400 metres unnecessarily in confidence in the description).
From then on, unfortunately, the GPS never left us.
Some of the comments show a vision of the direction of an indication or a path, even though you have to have been on it for some time! ( point 12 on your right you can see a path going up ...)
no, the path doesn't go up at all ;;; but you do have to take this one ... (doubt.). However, it does start to climb after 100 metres....etc... etc....
As far as this 12km hike is concerned... Big disappointment with the route! 85% of it is on tracks or small macadam roads ! You might as well do it by bike, which is perfectly possible. Tarmac isn't great! even if there aren't many vehicles passing. A few nice houses but from there to discover beautiful homes ... they can be counted on the fingers of one hand!
2 listed castles totally invisible behind a screen of trees on tarmac roads.
The few shady undergrowth gave us an infestation of mosquitoes at this time of year! But there's nothing anyone can do about that... the only good thing about this walk is the diversity between vineyards and undergrowth and a few peaceful hamlets, but that's about it.
For future hikers, we really warn the description to follow the GPS VISORANDO.
We don't really recommend this route, but we hope you enjoy it.
Enjoy the walk!

A very pleasant and instructive walk. First, we walked along the river, a good time to take in the traditional fishing of the region. Crossing the vineyards, we spotted a roe deer, and in the undergrowth a few coulemelles and rosés des près. A pidgeon hunting hut, some superb, well-hidden châteaux and a little information here and there. Highly recommended.
