Start from the church car park, town hall.
(S/E) With your back to the town hall, turn left to follow Rue Jules Ferry and walk past the swimming pool. Turn right onto Rue Léo Lagrange, then left at the wayside shrine onto Rue du 8 Mai. At the bend, continue straight ahead along the path through the vineyards until you reach the road.
(1) Go straight on along the road and, as you leave the hamlet of Le Mas, turn left for about 50 metres then right.
(2) At the T-junction, turn right towards Château de Pardaillan and continue along the winding road. At the bottom of the descent, at the Y-junction, keep left alongside a very pleasant property, “Pelet”. Immediately after, leave the road and take the path on the right to climb up to the Tertre de Thouil. Pass a path on the left and turn left at a right angle at the next junction.
(3) A good fifty metres further on, turn left to reach the top of the hill and admire the view, which, in good weather, should allow you to see the Saint-André-de-Cubzac water tower opposite and, to the left, the summit of the Pont d’Aquitaine.
(4) Once at the top, turn right and walk along the top, making a circular loop to the left. Look to your left at the water tower.
(5) About 100 metres further on, just before you turn left, look out for the narrow path on your right (which is a bit hidden) that winds its way along the hillock and follow it to the road.
Take care as there are a few sections that are quite steep and can be slippery when wet.
(6) When you reach Route de Thouil, turn right. At the first bend, leave the road and take the path on the right that goes uphill, then continue straight on to the hamlet of Sainte-Catherine and theD138E2. Keep right until you reach the crossroads.
(7) Cross the D138 then follow the pond on the left. Before the hamlet of Henault, take the path on the right and head straight on until you reach the tarmac.
(8) Turn left, cross the hamlet of Eyma then continue along a track. Turn left shortly after, then right, and continue straight on until you reach a four-way junction.
(9) Take the path on the right to run alongside the road and avoid the traffic. You will join it a little further on and follow it to the right for about 200 m. At the crossroads, turn left towards Château Caneveau.
(10) Walk past Château Caneveau and turn right to join the D670E. Follow it to the right and head for the junction, just past the remains of a mill.
(11) Turn right towards Carpentay and follow the small road. Walk past the cemetery, then turn right at the end of Rue du 11 novembre 1918, and head towards the centre of Lugon and the town hall square (S/E).
