Description of the walk

Beaumont-sur-Lèze sports ground car park (Place Clément Ader).

(S/E) Join Avenue de la Lèze, turn left to return to the village and turn right onto Rue de la Peyrere

(1) 200 m further on, turn left onto the road leading downhill (Chemin du Besi). At the junction 200 m further down, turn left to stay on Chemin du Bési.

(2) Further up, after passing the last houses, take a path on the left that climbs through the forest. Once you’ve left the forest, veer left onto the road until you reach the next junction.

(3) There, turn right towards the animal cemetery.

(4) After passing the pet cemetery at the junction with a main road (Route de Miremont), turn left and continue along this road.

(5) After passing the first houses on your right, turn left onto a path that climbs between the houses

(6) When you reach a tarmacised junction, head almost straight on along the Chemin de Montmaurel, which descends and eventually becomes a footpath.

(7) Back on the road, turn right (Chemin de Millet) then left to return to the village centre via Rue des Écoles. Walk past the church and turn right towards the car park (S/E).

I agree with the other comments about the routes along the banks of the Lèze being inaccessible. After passing through the village, you reach the animal cemetery via the road, which remains a bit dangerous despite the pavement.

Well done for your prompt response. It’s a shame about the riverside area – it looks really lovely.

Following the previous comments, I have removed the first section of the route that ran alongside the Lèze.
In the past, you could walk alongside this very pleasant river, ....

Hike not completed – for the first time on Visorando, the banks of the Lèze are closed, and have apparently been for a long time!!!
We went for a walk around Montaut instead. It was lovely.

Hello,
Hike completed on 28/03/21. Please note that you cannot start the walk by turning left onto the path at the Léze bridge as indicated, as there is a wire-mesh gate blocking access to the banks of the Léze (and is that even legal, anyway?)
So start at point 1; you can park at the cemetery and continue the walk from there.
There are no signposts in the forest between Chemin du Pitre and Point 5, so you need to be very careful; we got lost in the forest, but luckily there are high-voltage power lines…
Those are my comments
Kind regards
