(S/E) The starting point is at Place du Château. Pick up some free leaflets from the town hall, which will provide information about the castle, the church, the local heritage and the village in general.
Head south towards the village square: on your left is the artists’ residence (a former coaching inn), where young artists work and exhibit their work (ask at the town hall for details).
Walk past the war memorial and head down the path on the right. After 100 metres, turn right to go round the back of the castle and follow the path. This spot offers a view of the rear of the castle. At the end of the path, turn left and head down towards the 11th- and 12th-century Saint-Pierre Church, which was completed in the 16th century. Inside, you can see a 6th-century Merovingian sarcophagus.
(1) Walk round the church and admire the view over the plain. After walking round and visiting the church, continue eastwards along the route and head down towards the cemetery. Cross the main road and head towards Gueynich to admire, at the bottom of the hill and set back to your right, the 19th-century wash house.
(2) Resume the route and head uphill towards Fourreau. Halfway up the slope, on your left, is another wash house. Turn left towards Caupène and continue straight on for about 700 metres through vineyards and woodland. The path turns sharply left and joins a road that crosses a stream
(3) Leave the road, turn right towards Martin, then turn left and follow the ‘costière’ for about 300 m (watch out for holes in the ground made by badgers). To the east, you can see the 15th- and 16th-century fortified house of La Borie (private).
Turn right and head down towards Pinguay. On your right, you can see the 17th-century Maison Noble de Cazalis (private). Cross the D232.
(4) Shortly afterwards, on your left, you’ll spot another wash house. Follow the path between the vineyard and Château Lacoste. Cross the small road and turn left straight away. At the end of the path, turn right and follow the small road for about 200 metres. Turn left at the corner of the house with the lavender-blue shutters. Walk up the path for 50 m and start climbing the hillside through the small woodland of the Côtes de Touron, where you’ll see huts in the trees which are hunting posts for migratory birds (do not climb up there – private property).
(5) At the end of this path, right at the top, turn right and follow the Costière to Lafuge.
(6) After passing through the hamlet, on your right, a little way down the slope, you’ll see a magnificent 19th-century washhouse with a floor of Gironde tiles. Springs on your left flow down the rocks. It’s a very peaceful spot, perfect for daydreaming.
Continue along the path towards Carcaillet. At the corner of the house, turn right and follow the road for about 150 m. At the junction, turn left towards the south-east and follow the tarmac road for 1 km; it forms a circular route and returns towards the east.
(7) At Chivaley, turn left at a 90° angle, then keep left at every junction until you reach the Moulin de Malet. A beautiful plateau of vineyards unfolds before you.
(8) At the T-junction at the end of the track, turn left towards Les Granges (you can also turn right to return to Pujols).
Turn right 100 metres further on, then, at the end of this track, take the main road to the left for 50 metres and finally turn right at the corner by the vineyards. Follow the vineyards, using the signposts to guide you. After a few twists and turns, you’ll reach the Chemin du Bourdieu.
Turn right, follow the path and, at the end, on your right, you can admire one last wash house.
(9) On the right, at the corner by the baker’s oven, climb the steps and you’ll reach the village square: Place du Général de Gaulle. The château is on the left.
We hope you’ve enjoyed a pleasant and informative stroll, and that our village and its countryside will make you want to come back or introduce them to your friends.
