Oenorando® Vallon de la Caude

1. From the car park, take the path between the cypress trees to the departmental road. When you reach the road, turn left onto the path along the vineyard and descend to the bottom of the valley. Cross the Caude stream, then the Castanet road and join the other small road. Turn left and, 200m further on, go back up towards Plancas.
2. Cross the hamlet and take the ridge path, which offers a lovely view over the valley and the hamlet of Lincarque. Ignore the various junctions and continue to the Domaine des Vignals.
3. At the entrance to the Domaine, head down to the left through the vineyards and rejoin the Castanet road. Turn right.
4. Here, there is the option of a short variant (5.50 km). Turn left, cross the bridge over the Caude stream and go back up through the vineyards to the Lacroux estate. Continue along the Castanet road until you reach the RD n°1. Take it carefully to the left, cross the bridge over the stream and then turn right towards Moussens.
5. Cross the hamlet. On leaving, turn right onto the path running alongside the vineyard. At the road, take the path leading to Le Pouget via a right/left turn.
6. On leaving the hamlet, turn left at the crossroads and continue straight ahead along the path until you reach the RD n°1, at the entrance to Lincarque.
7. Cross the road, take the end of the path and then turn left until you reach the roundabout. Cross it and take the path opposite, which runs along the old wall. After about 300 metres, turn right and go up through the vineyards to return to the starting point.
