Park at the old Latresne station at the intersection of the main street and the Roger Lapébie Greenway.
(S/E) Take the greenway upstream (towards the Aquitaine aerocampus) up the Pimpine valley.
After the wetland on the right (home to numerous semi-domesticated nutria, moorhens and ducks), the greenway leads to a road at an old gatekeeper's house.
(1) Leave the track on the left to take the bridge over the Pimpine River and continue along this road until it joins the Route de Lignan.
(2) Continue along this road to the right. After passing a cul-de-sac (Domaine de Jeandey) on the left, take Chemin de Jeandey, which climbs up to the plateau on the left. After about 300 m, you will come to a three-way junction. Leave Chemin de Jeandey (which goes off to the left, stop sign, following the contour lines) and take Chemin de Cantelaudette on the right, which continues to climb up to the D936ES.
(3) Cross this busy road with caution, taking Chemin du Moulin de Rambal for about 100 m before turning right at the first crossroads onto Chemin de Saubiolle, which very quickly becomes unpaved and descends to Saubiolle.
(4) Turn onto the path that descends to the right, soon running alongside the gates of the Château Malherbe vineyard, before crossing a stream and climbing back up to the hamlet of Vignac. After the left-hand bend, continue to the junction with Chemin de Montfavet.
(5) Continue left along Chemin de Montfavet, which descends back into the valley, becoming a steep path before joining a paved road. After the first house and a wash house on the left, you will come to a T-junction.
(6) Turn left onto Chemin de Lachaise, which climbs up the hillside before running alongside the gates of Château Malherbes (visible on the left).
(7) Follow the fence to the left to the château's reception pavilion, then follow a road for about 50 metres to reach a crossroads with a central reservation.
(8) Turn right onto Chemin de Céris, which runs alongside a semi-underground water reservoir before descending the hill and turning into a footpath that leads to the D10.
(9) Follow this road to the right for 200 metres until you reach the first road on the left (bus depot on the corner). Turn onto Chemin de Coulomb until you reach a wooden barrier.
(10) Turn left onto the old railway line, which is initially straight and unpaved, then paved at the entrance to Latresne. Continue to the starting point (S/E).
