From the parking area by the church, turn right and walk out of the village on the C206 road, passing the school on the left, and a few minutes later go straight over at the crossroads with the C203, towards Maurillac/le Castel/Clapier Bas. Here you see your first yellow marker. There are sweeping views of big fields and woods in all directions, and the tower of a windmill without sails on the right. Shortly after the crossroads bear left on a grassy path, passing the cemetery down on the right and a solitary family tomb on the left. The path continues, slightly raised, with a ditch on the left and vineyards on the right, with lady orchids in the grass at the side in springtime, to reach a road at a corner with a yellow marker 1 (20min).

Continue straight on along the road. If you turn right here, there is a shortcut to Maurillac. Where the road turns to the left to a house called le Caillou, go straight ahead on a track between vines. At the end of the vineyard take the central sunken path (yellow marker on the right) going through and round the edge of attractive woodland to reach a T-junction at a narrow road and wooden signposts. Turn right, signposted ‘Château de Bridoire 3.8km’, and continue along the side of a shallow, wooded valley with la Gardonnette stream running through it. You pass a house on the right and a larger house on the left, called le Seytieux, to reach a T-junction and a post immediately after. The track goes right and continues through the side of the wooded valley into open fields and then between two fences to join the road at the hamlet of Maurillac (55min).
