Car park in front of the school, on the main road (if needed, there is a second car park about thirty metres further down).
(S/E) Walk up the main street then turn right in front of the war memorial. From the memorial, follow the Respirando signposting for “La randonnée des châteaux” (PR® 497), turning right onto Rue du Clos, then right again onto Rue du Bourguet. Continue straight on along the same street at the various junctions until you reach the sewage treatment works.
(1) Stop following the Respirando signposts and turn right. The path offers lovely views of Védrines Castle (on the left) and Léotoing Castle (in the distance, on the right). Carry on to the end of the street.
(2) Turn left towards Angelane. Walk through the hamlet and, once you’ve left it behind, head straight on along the track until you reach a spot offering a view.
(3) Turn round for a moment to enjoy the lovely view of the countryside, Védrines Castle and Lorlanges. Carry on to the crossroads.
(4) Carry on straight ahead, following the Respirando signposts once more until you reach the finish (the signposted route joins from the path on the left). At the next fork in the road, turn right, then go straight on twice along a track that veers to the left. Continue straight ahead, then turn right along the stream. When you reach the road, follow it to the left to cross through Vernassal. At the crossroads in the centre, continue straight on to the château.
(5) Take in the view of Vernassal Castle before reaching the castle itself, as the high surrounding walls will then partially obscure the building. At the crossroads, turn right, cross the Ruisseau de Vernassa, then turn left. Ignore the track that starts opposite and continue along the road. Climb up to a Fork in the road.
(6) Turn right onto a track, then left. Continue downhill until you reach the road. Then carry on straight ahead to return to the starting point. (S/E)
