Description of the walk

Park in the village centre in the restaurant car park not far from the church and town hall.

(S/E) Head towards the church and, opposite, take the street on the right towards Les Pezaud. The route is then marked with wooden posts and yellow plastic arrows. Follow these markings throughout the hike.

(1) At the edge of the village, take the first path on the left to enter the vineyards. It is marked in yellow.
When you return to the houses, turn right, following the signs, and return to the vineyards.

(2) At the end of the path, at the road, turn left and continue to the crossroads.

(3) Turn right and take the first path on the left. Follow the yellow markings.

(4) After the hamlet of Les Croux, follow the sign for "Boucle par les Bruyères". Continue along the path running alongside the vineyards until you reach the road, which you follow to the left.

(5). Turn left again to rejoin a path, still following the yellow markings.
At the end of the path, return to the road, continue to the crossroads and turn right.

::6: Turn left onto the path to return to the vineyards. At the end of the path, you will come to the road and turn left. Go down the street to find the yellow markings and turn left onto a small dirt track.

(7) At the crossroads, turn left to reach the château. Visits are possible.
Exit at the church and return to the car park (S/E).

Ideal route for families... even small children aged 4 and above. However, it is difficult with a pushchair

a very pleasant short walk through the vineyards. Perfect, no elevation gain, no roads. Very easy for everyone. You can also visit the castle at the end of the walk. Magnificent.

A peaceful and pleasant walk. I really enjoyed arriving above the castle, but I was less keen on the section that ran alongside a large power line, which seemed to go on forever.

A very pleasant hike done as a group in intense heat
We took it easy, extending the route in the morning and afternoon after stopping in the shade to avoid dehydration, and visited the castle.
A relaxing day among the vineyards
