Description of the walk

Park at the Yronde-et-Buron cemetery: spaces on the east side, along the cemetery or on the grass, at the edge of the dirt road.

No signposts

(S/E) Set off with the cemetery on your right, leaving the village of Yronde behind you on your left. Immediately cross a road and take the path opposite.

(1) At the bend in the path to the left (towards a farm building), continue straight ahead. Ignore a path on the left further on. You will come to an intersection of several paths, at a post bearing a yellowPR®® arrow (pointing in the opposite direction).

(2) Take the path on the right, which is a hairpin bend. Go downhill to reach a T-junction with a wider path, opposite a signpost marked with a winegrower's house.

(3) Turn left. Opposite a gate, follow the path that veers left into a wood and, after about 300 m, leave this path and take a path going up to the left.

(4) Ignore a path on the left (see shortcut in Practical Information). You will come to a T-junction with a path.

(5) Turn left. You will come to a four-way intersection with a yellow sign indicating "Vignes conduites sur échalas" (vines trained on stakes).

(6) Take the path on the right. Descend gradually towards the Domaine d'Aubeyrat (farm and castle of no interest). Reach the access road to the estate.

(7) Follow it to the left and join another small road.

(8) Turn right onto this road which runs alongside the Ruisseau de la Palle stream, pass a D760 signpost, then take a path on the left, crossing the stream.

(9) At the hairpin bend to the left of the path, ignore a path branching off to the right, then, a hundred metres further on, negotiate the hairpin bend to the right of the path, ignoring a path to the left. Arrive at the Domaine de Sarlant.

(10) Continue along the access road to the estate. As you climb, it offers a more extensive view of the estate.

No signposts

(11) Leave the road and the Maison de vigneron signposting and take a path on the left. You will come to the Ruisseau de la Palle, which the path follows at varying distances. Ignore a path on the left, at a hairpin bend, then cross the stream and join the D760.

(12) Follow it to the right for about a hundred metres, then take the path on the right at the Chamina hiking sign. Shortly afterwards, you will pass the ruins of the Abbaye du Bouchet (information board, picnic tables). Continue to an intersection at a small bridge over the stream.

(13) Continue straight ahead, following the winegrower's house markings again. Join a street in Yronde and walk up it for a few metres.

No markings

(14) Note the wash house on the left and, opposite the drinking fountain, turn right. Take the first street on the right, Rue sous les Treilles, then the first alley on the right and arrive at a small square with a well-fountain. Leave it on your left, then follow the first street on the right. At the intersection, take Rue du Haut Pavé opposite, which goes up to the cemetery (S/E).

Excellent hike! Beautiful views all along the way, a very pleasant natural environment, only 10 minutes on tarmac throughout the entire route... I didn't see a single car or human being.
It was absolutely brilliant to do in early November with bright sunshine, but don't do it in the middle of a heatwave: 90% of the hike is in the open...
Apart from the 10 minutes on tarmac mentioned above, where there is no pavement, I was able to let my dog off the lead the whole way, as there is no danger.
There are hardly any markings (just a small drawing of a bunch of grapes every now and then), but there's no way you can get lost with the route provided.
As for the duration, it took me 2 hours (excluding breaks), but I didn't dawdle too much and walked fairly quickly.
I recommend this hike.
