Walk past the entrance to the château, which has a children’s play area and a large chess set in the grounds, to a wooden signpost where you briefly join the GR636/654. Turn right, on the Boucle de Ribagnac, past a statue of the Virgin Mary, to a small crossroads where there is another millstone. Go straight on, up to the hamlet of les Costes. Walk straight through the hamlet, and immediately after the houses at a small crossroads (yellow marker) leave the GR and go down to the right for about 500 metres, then turn left opposite a farm on the right. This path goes into a shallow valley of large fields sweeping down to the narrow, bush-lined stream of le Grimoudou. Do not turn left on another jeep track but continue downwards on a narrow path and cross the stream at a bridge. The track goes gradually upwards through open fields to reach a more defined jeep track at the top (2hr).

Turn left to walk into the hamlet of Clapier Haut, passing a solitary family tomb on the left. Walk through the hamlet and bear right at a fork. Continue down the road to reach a T-junction (yellow marker). Turn right (the D107 is over on the left) and go down the gently descending road. At a yellow marker opposite a pond on the right 2, turn off left onto a wide track, past a sign saying that the wood to your left is called ‘le Bois de la Dame’. Continue through fields, bending to the left at a yellow marker and passing the house of la Coste on the right, to reach a crossroad of tracks and a fallen signpost. Turn right through fields and vineyards until the track becomes a tarmac road at a cemetery on the left. Continue on the road to a T-junction and turn left into the village of Singleyrac to reach the square and church (2hr 45min).
