(S/E) With your back to the winery, cross the D136 (take care) and turn left until you reach the crossroads.
Yellow markings are more or less present
Turn right onto Chemin de Saint-Chaptes, which is actually an old railway line that has been converted into a walking trail. Continue straight ahead at the next junction and you will arrive at the Ancienne Voie Ferrée sign.
(1) Turn right towards heath onto the path, which becomes tarmac. Join a road coming from the left and continue along this small road, which slopes slightly to the right, to reach the D982 at a stop sign.
Cross the road carefully and continue opposite on Avenue du Pigeonnier towards the first houses of the old village of heath and a dovecote on your left.
(2) Turn right onto Rue Damon, pass three streets on the right and two streets on the left, then turn right onto Rue de l'Église, which leads to the building.
Turn right in front of the church and 30 metres further on, turn left into Rue Lombard, which leads to the Protestant church.
Turn around and continue straight ahead until you reach the junction with Rue Damon. Turn left and you will find yourself back at the junction with the dovecote.
(2) Turn right onto Avenue de la Mairie and continue until you reach the D982, ignoring the other streets on the right and left. Cross the road carefully and walk along the right-hand side for 30 metres. Turn left onto the D322 and continue, again ignoring all the turnings on either side.
Leave the village, pass the cemetery and arrive at Sainte-Eulalie at the signpost of the same name on Place des Retraités.
(3) Turn right, then immediately right onto Rue des Ormeaux. Just before No. 3, turn left onto the small path that goes around the back of the chapel. Complete the detour, return to the chapel entrance, go down the few steps and arrive at Rue de la Chapelle. Follow it to the left to return to Place des Retraités.
(3) Turn right onto Avenue Roumieux, which becomes Chemin des Mûriers as you leave the village. Continue between the vineyards and turn left after the first plot until you reach a crossroads 500 metres further on.
(4) Turn left and arrive at the La Font Marthe crossroads. Ignore the paths to the right and left and continue straight ahead across the fields towards Les Rochers Sculptés. When you reach the signpost of the same name, leave the path on the left and continue straight ahead on the path.
100 metres further on, ignore the paths on the right and left and continue along the path. Another 150 metres further on, when the path begins to curve slightly to the left, look for a rock formation on the left.
These rocks are the remains of an ancient Roman quarry on which an artist has carved and painted animals.
Make a short detour to see these sculptures. Return to the path and continue left to reach the Roques crossroads.
(5) Turn left towards Parpaudes, walk alongside a vineyard and continue along the path through the cultivated fields. Cross a ford and continue along the path, which is less marked, until you reach a crossroads. Turn onto the path furthest to the right and continue for about 500 metres until you reach the Parpaudes crossroads.
(6) Turn left onto the path towards Les Sablières marked with red and white markings (GR®6). Go around a ruin and, at the crossroads, leave theGR® markings on your right and the path on your left.
No markings
Continue straight ahead between the vineyards. After 400 metres, ignore a path leading off to the left and continue for about 100 metres.
(7) Turn left onto the path after the vineyard and follow it for almost 700m.
Yellow markings
(8) You will come to a path; follow it to the right and quickly ignore a path that branches off to the right. Continue straight ahead and turn right at the next junction. Just before the next crossroads, you will see an information panel explaining the different grape varieties grown in Bourdic.
First turn right then left and continue between the vineyards. Continue straight ahead at the next crossroads, walk alongside an olive grove lost in the middle of the vineyards and reach the Puech Puget crossroads.
(9) Turn left towards Puget. At the next fork, turn right, pass a ruin and arrive at a sign (IGN map) showing the location of the grape varieties.
Continue along the path, which becomes stony as it descends and leads to the Puget marker.
Turn left onto the small tarmac road.
(10) Cross the stream and turn left immediately afterwards onto a path that runs alongside the stream for a while and approaches the houses.
Continue along Rue du Parc, pass two streets on your right and arrive at Place du 8 Mai. Turn right onto Grande Rue, pass the next two streets on your right. Turn left in front of a high-voltage transformer and turn right onto Rue du 19 Mars 1962.
