Description of the walk

(S/E) From the town hall car park, walk past the church and take the road leading down to the left just after the church. Pass a wash house on your right, then continue straight on for about 800m.

(1) At the junction, turn left, pass one set of junctions and arrive at the second junction.

(2) Turn left (if you turn right, you’ll reach Espagnet Church 500m further on), then follow the road to the right. After passing a detached house, turn left onto the grassy path at the edge of the woods.

(3) Turn right onto the road and follow the yellow markings to take the path on the left (Chemin Lagors), which becomes a narrow, sunken track. Cross the D147 and continue straight ahead.

(4) After the second house, take the path on the left (yellow arrow markings) and head towards the hamlet of Pouchiou.

(5) After the farm buildings, take the path on the right. There is an alternative route by continuing straight ahead (signposted ‘variante’), which shortens the route.
At the crossroads, turn left through a poplar grove and continue along the stony path which leads out onto a road.

(6) Take the road on the right, cross the bridge and continue across the Midour before reaching an old mill.

(7) Turn left onto the farm track and emerge onto a road.
N.B. If you take the road on the right, you can reach Salles-d’Armagnac, 1 km away.

(8) Turn left, then, after the bridge, turn left again onto the dirt track and head towards a poplar grove.

(9) Turn left into the poplar grove and continue along the grassy track (not shown on the map) alongside the poplars. At the end of the grove, cross the concrete footbridge and continue along the dirt track leading to Janborde Farm.

(10) Follow the road to the D147, turn left onto it and continue to Caupenne-d’Armagnac to reach the town hall car park (S/E).

As the farmers had planted maize, we were unable to continue along the route, especially as the yellow markings were no longer visible at the crucial point … We returned to the starting point via the same route we’d taken on the way there. A sign pointing to the left was positioned rather ambiguously, suggesting two possible directions to the left (?) All in all, a rather uninteresting walk…

A lovely, sunny walk through fields, vineyards, paths, poplar groves and streams around Caupenne d’Armagnac. With the bell tower in our sights, it serves as our landmark.
There are no signposts at the start or on the final stretch, which appears to have been altered compared to the GPS route.
A shorter alternative route is available at the Route de la Carrère de Bas.
A 12 km route completed in just over 3 hours.

As I have already mentioned, this research was carried out with a view to organising a hike with the club in May 2024, which will be followed by a visit to an ostrich farm in Caupenne d’Armagnac – hence the choice of this location as the starting point for the hike as well.

A lovely little walk, peaceful and with only plenty of deer for company... =)
However, on the 7th and 8th there really wasn’t a marked path – we had to cut across the fields to find our way back, but it was no big deal.

This morning we did the short route (going straight from 5 to 10). It’s a walk of about 8.5 km. A lovely walk – quite a bit of road, but it’s so quiet that you can let the dog off the lead without too much stress, except at the end where you walk along the D147, which has quite a lot of traffic. The yellow/orange signposting seemed a bit patchy to me, but perhaps I wasn’t paying close enough attention: you can rely on the route map and description in the Visorando app.

A lovely walk with some beautiful views,
A word of advice: don’t even think about taking a shortcut and going from 7 to 9 – the ditches are impassable!!

Hello,
the route for this walk comes to an end after just a few metres. In fact, once you’ve passed the first wash house, you’ll find yourself facing a blocked-off road that now allows water to flow from the pond to the lake.
That said, the walk around Lake Caupenne is brilliant. A lovely woodland path with some great single tracks. But you’ll need to retrace your steps, making for a circular route of about 10 km.

Hello,

the path has been ploughed up by a farmer and it is difficult to follow the trail, as it crosses private land through the fields.

A message has been sent via private message to the author of the walk.

See you soon

Near Caumont Farm, the path disappears, having been ploughed up by the farmer, and it is difficult to find the trail again, as you have to cross private land through the fields.
