Departure from the Maison des Vins car park.
(S/E) From the car park, turn right towards Tertre de Fronsac. At the top, turn left, follow the road and after 300 metres, take the path on the left.
(1) At the crossroads, turn right between the vineyards for about 500m and you will arrive opposite the driveway to Château Sauvage. Turn left to go around the driveway, then right, cross it and continue straight ahead. 150m further on, at the fork, follow the path on the left (not visible on the map). Continue and join Bren on the paved road, then follow it to the left until the next intersection.
(2) Turn right onto the road, then right again at the fork, staying on the road.
(3) At the next crossroads, turn left, staying on the road, cross the Gandineau farm and take the path opposite which leads to the road. There, turn right and then right again to pass in front of Château Coustolle.
(4) In the bend, leave the road and turn left to follow the park down towards the valley. Turn right and follow the trees to the next path. Turn left and descend between the vineyards, then climb up the other side at the edge of the vineyards to the hamlet of Franc Capet.
(5) Turn left to cross this hamlet, follow the path on the right and climb towards Château la Valade. Pass it and follow the path up a beautiful hill.
(6) At the crossroads, turn left, cross the D246 and take the path opposite, slightly to the right. At the end, turn left and follow the path for 80 metres, then turn left and cross the road to the right in front of Château Mazéris (white path).
(7) Turn left immediately through the vineyards, staying on the main path, then under the trees, keeping right at the fork. You will arrive at Château le Mausse.
(8) Cross the road and go down the valley between the vineyards until you reach Château de Barrabaque. There, take the road on the left that goes uphill. Follow the road through Caillau and, just before the D246, take the small path on the right and follow it to the viewpoint.
(9) Admire the magnificent view of the Dordogne valley and its meanders. There is even a bench!
Go back up a few metres heading north, then turn right towards the isolated tree opposite Bourdieu until you reach the D246. Cross the road (be careful of fast cars!) and follow it to the right, turning left before the houses. A few metres further on, turn right onto the road that goes downhill, at the bottom before the building, take the hairpin bend to the left and go back up almost to the route you took at the start.
(1) A few metres before, turn right and head towards Château Richelieu and the car park via the path between the vineyards (S/E).
(1) Turn right between the vineyards to return to the car park (S/E).
