Parking is available at the children’s playground car park at the entrance to the village of Noulens via the D162.

(S/E) From the car park, walk past the play areas and onto the road in the village, turn right and continue to the junction.

(1) Turn right, go straight on, leaving a road on your right, pass by the town hall, then ignore a path leading off to your left and take the footpath on the left a few metres further on at La Grande Borde. Continue along this path, passing the hamlet of Le Broustana. The path turns right then left.

(2) Take the footbridge over the Gélise stream and continue to the hamlet of Pardeillan.

(3) Turn right and stay on this path until you reach a tarmac road. Turn right, pass the hamlet of Bourguet, and continue to the junction with a path on your left.

(4) Take the path that goes round a pond, then goes round a field alongside the Lande de la Chapelle woods. Continue along this path, which heads east, until you reach a tarmac road.

(5) Turn left, then take the first path on the right. Continue to the T-junction.

(6) Turn right and take the first path on your left, then turn right after a few dozen metres towards the hamlet known as Le Moulin à Vent until you find a path branching off to your left.

(7) Take this path, which heads straight eastwards downhill and goes round the buildings at a place called Le Broc. Stay on this path, which runs alongside a pond and joins a tarmac road.

Lovely walk through the countryside and forest
very pleasant. In fact, in wet weather, there is a little water. We did it again in the other direction for a change, with a very nice lunch spot near the village on the way back.

A very pleasant circular route, well signposted and offering a variety of interesting terrain.
Some sections along the edges of fields may have been damp at the start of spring.

A lovely, well-maintained route (I had to get out the secateurs... to tackle the brambles!) and a pleasant experience.
But this Sunday, there was a lot of water (it had rained on Saturday) and fog.
