The Dolmen Trail and the Englishman's Tomb
This route takes us above the countryside towards Saint-Maffre, south of Bruniquel. On a clear day, it is possible to see the Pyrenees mountain range. Towards the end of the route, you will discover Bruniquel from above.
Along the Eau Blanche from the Lac Bleu de Léognan
Discovery hike along the Eau Blanche stream. It rises in Lipomey, south-southeast of Léognan. It winds through the forest before crossing Léognan and heading towards Cadaujac and then Courrejan, where it flows into the Garonne.
The hike runs along the left bank of the vineyards of the Châteaux de France, Fieuzal and Le Sartre, Pessac-Léognan grands crus classés. On the way back, it runs along the right bank, crosses Mignoy, and passes near Château Chevaliner, another Pessac-Léognan grand cru classé.
Route des Sources starting from Gazinet
Route starting from the Maison des Sources car park.
A varied route, partly along the stream, in open country around the Monsalut estate with its two lakes, then through forest, then between moorland and cultivated fields, finally returning to the forest and the stream for the return to the source.
Around Saint-Morillon
Note: route and description created from the Saint-Morillon Town Hall guidebook: Boucle des Anciennes Landes. 95% of the route follows paths through the woods and is very pleasant.
It allows walkers to climb about 40 metres and cross a variety of landscapes. At the highest points, they will find themselves in what was once an area of moorland maintained for sheep. At the lowest points, they will feel the coolness of the Gât-Mort valley and the originality of its habitats. Experienced walkers will notice and appreciate the environmental changes along the way, both on the way up and on the way down, before returning to their starting point: the church square in the centre of the village of Saint-Morillon.
At the end of the hike, you will walk along the Gât Mort stream, passing the ruins of the Lusié mill before returning to Saint-Morillon. The old mill was once part of a noble house purchased in 1754 by Montesquieu.
Maraval Trail
This pleasant loop in the Cordais hills, between vineyards and woods, allows you to discover a unique geological feature (the rougiers) and beautiful views of the villages of Cordes and Tonnac. The hike was created by the Tarn department and marked by volunteers from the FFRandonnée.
Saint-Justin Oratory via Courratge from Barèges
A very pleasant short hike between Barèges and Saint-Justin via Courratge. The route is not difficult and mostly through forest. The view from the Oratoire Saint-Justin is magnificent, both towards the Luz Saint-Sauveur valley and towards the Tourmalet. The route is well marked and shared with the GR®10 between Barèges and Saint-Justin.
