Departure from Lagassat, Domaine de Bories Vieilles. The winegrower who owns the estate will allow you to use her car park in exchange for a tour of her vineyard and a little something to help her out (hello...). There is space for two or three vehicles (car sharing recommended).
(S/E) Head north-east towards Les Fortis and take thefirst road on the left (signposted Miel). At the crossroads (hiking signs), turn right onto the grassy path which becomes a tarmac road, runs alongside a cemetery and then turns right. At the crossroads, go straight ahead and, after the houses, follow the dirt track up to the Chapelle de Montegut.
(1) Go around it on the right and go down the path to the road. At the crossroads, go up to the right.
(2) Leave the road at the Ventemil sign and climb up the path on the left. In front of the house, follow the dirt track that descends to the right.
(3) Enter the undergrowth slightly to your left. At the bottom, turn right at the top of the farm (do not cross it) to return to the path and follow it to the left to rejoin the road at the crossroads.
(4) Turn right, cross the small bridge and go straight up to Loubersac. Admire the magnificent "Tuscan" landscape. Go around the beautiful renovated building at the back and, at the next crossroads, continue straight ahead and follow the path that runs alongside the Bois des Lugans. Leave a path on your left and, when you reach the stream (completely invisible in summer), turn left and follow it on the left bank for about 200 m. Take the second earth bridge on the right to cross it, continue slightly to the left for a few metres to find the path that climbs up to the fork.
(5) Turn left (yellow signpost) and continue to a small road.
(6) Turn right, pass through the hamlet of Belle-Viste and admire the view. Leave a road on your right and, at the next fork, turn right to reach the burial mound.
(7) Continue for about 100 metres, then turn left onto the path leading to the Saint-Salvy Chapel.
(8) Retrace your steps, turn left and rejoin the D18. Follow it to the right for 100 m, cross it (take care) and take the small dirt track to the junction with the hamlet of Bernis.
(9) Turn left, cross the hamlet of Bernis, then the hamlet of Louvignes, passing in front of the venerable oak tree of Bernis.
