Description of the walk

Car park next to the picnic area

(S/E) From the car park, with your back to the River Tarn, turn left onto the D200, then take the first street on the left and the next one as well.

(1) Continue to the right, skirting the leisure park, then turn right onto Rue Lapérouse and you’ll come out onto Rue du Grand Pavois.

(2) Turn right onto this street, which joins the D200, and follow it straight on, ignoring any side roads on the right or left, until you reach a crossroads.

(3) Turn left, following the water treatment plant until you reach the next junction (cross); carry on straight ahead and pass through the hamlet of La Pougetterie to reach the banks of the Tarn.

(4) Turn right onto the Chemin des Rives, pass the small power station and carry on to the village of Rivières, ignoring all the paths on either side.

(5) In the village, at the roundabout, take the small road straight ahead which passes in front of the town hall. Carry on straight through fields and meadows, passing through the hamlet known as La Sagne, and you’ll come out onto the D200.

(6) Turn right to reach the car park (S/E).

A short walk, ideal for getting some fresh air (which I eventually incorporated into a longer route so I could make the most of this lovely day). The route is completely flat, entirely on tarmac, taking in quiet country lanes, along the River Tarn and through the countryside.
