This pleasant 4.3km walk, starting in Saint-Philippe-d'Aiguille, takes you to the top of the Pey Landry hillside and takes you through vineyards and forest.
The stages
With your back to the church, turn right onto the D123.
Further on, turn left onto the path after the town hall and the school between the 2 houses. Continue down the grassy track and then turn left.
At the bottom of the road, at the crossroads, turn right and walk alongside the tarmac road on the grass. Continue along the side of the road between the trees until you reach the stop sign.
At the stop sign, to be on the safe side, cross over and follow the road to the left into the large grassy meadow. At the top, before the bend, cross the road again to climb the embankment opposite.
At the top of the road, take the path on the left, signposted ‘Bienvenue sur le coteau de Pey Landry’ (‘Welcome to the Pey Landry hillside’). Continue straight ahead until you reach the megalith.
Leave the standing stone behind you on the right and continue down the path. Be careful, there are no signs in the middle of this wooded area. You need to go down to the right to reach the road below.
At the bottom, you can see the road. Follow it, keeping to the right.
Finally rejoin the tarmac road you have already taken, or walk through the vines along this road, as you wish. Return to the crossroads at point 3 and take the same route as before, or walk back up the tarmac road to the church above.
