Description of the walk

:/A: From the car park at the town hall in Le Pian-sur-Garonne, head towards the church.

(1) Turn left at the foot of the church. Ignore a street on the left and follow the road.

(2) At the bend, after an electricity pole, turn right towards the vineyards. Before reaching a copse, turn right and go round the spring, then carry on straight ahead. Step over a small stream and cross the road to reach a vineyard hut on the other side. Please walk only along the paths and not through the rows of vines.

(3) At the hut, turn left. Follow a stream and make sure to cross it as soon as possible. Further on, head up towards the pine hedge. There is a vineyard hut on the right. Three others are situated below. Make sure to pass all three to continue the walk. At the bottom of the vineyards, join a small road and turn right.

(4) Cross the D672E4 with care and continue straight on along the small road. On either side of this small road are three vineyard huts. You’ll come to a crossroads.

(5) Turn right. As soon as possible, turn right onto a small path, then, a few metres further on, turn left. Pass by a hut hidden beneath the ivy. Carry on straight ahead. After the hedge, turn left. Between the vineyards, head towards the hut on the right. Then carry on straight ahead through the vineyards. Follow the path until you reach the departmental road.

(6) Turn left, follow the departmental road and take the turn-off with a vineyard hut on the right. Turn right onto the small path that climbs through the vineyards. Follow the path until you reach another hut on the plateau above. Before the hut, turn right into a lane between the vines. Follow the path until you reach a small road.

(7) Turn right and follow the road. As soon as possible, turn right onto the small dirt track. At the orientation signpost, turn left onto the small dirt track. At the end of the track, follow the small road to the right until you reach the departmental road. Then, turn left and head towards the town hall (S/E).

A lovely walk, taking you through the vineyards and offering stunning views of the valley and St Macaire. No difficulty at all. Well worth doing again.

We went on a walk as a group of six, and we were all delighted with this new route. The scenery is magnificent (with sweeping views over St Macaire), and it’s very easy to walk through the vineyards. Discovering the ‘vineyard huts’ all along the route is a really fun and educational experience for all ages, but one that would particularly appeal to children and teenagers. We’d definitely do it again, in good weather and when the vines are further along in their growth.
Just as an aside, the bakery in Le Pian-sur-Garonne was open on 1 May! Nice!
