Park on the D732 departmental road, between La Merletterie in the commune of St-André-de-Lidon and Chadeniers in the commune of Gémozac, near the fruit and vegetable shop called Abondance F&L, close to the picnic tables.
(S/E) Take the road perpendicular to the D732 heading south for a few metres until you reach a T-junction.
(1) Continue straight ahead and you will soon come to another T-junction. Turn 90° to the right, walk through a copse and, at the end, you will reach the hamlet of La Marronnière.
(2) Cross the D139 to reach the hamlet of Chez les Boisnards. Enter the woods again, staying on the main path and avoiding any turnings to the right or left. At the edge of the woods, you will come to a crossroads.
(3) Take the path on the left before the bridge over the Aubardrie. About 300 m further on, follow the path to the right and enter another copse. You will then come to a crossroads before the hamlet of Le Four Chaux.
(4) Turn almost 180° to the left. Cross the Pierrère woods, cross the Aubardrie stream and immediately afterwards you will find a crossroads with four perpendicular paths.
.
(5) Take the right-hand path, cross a small road and you will come to another four-way crossroads.
(6) Turn left and follow this small road, alternating between woods and vineyards. You will find a new road at the Grande Mare crossroads shortly before the hamlet of La Jarretrie.
(7) Cross it and continue straight ahead through the vineyards, then continue straight ahead at the D139 crossing and enter the hamlet of Chez Pinaud des Bois.
(8) After the houses, at the end of a large bend, turn right and follow this path into the Bois de Baussy. Leave the woods, walk along the vineyards and then turn 90° to the left. Walk between the vineyards and you will find the initial crossroads you passed on the way there.
(1) Turn right and retrace your steps to return to the car park on the D732 road (S/E).
Yes, it was cool because you can't get lost and you're alone in the world!
