You can start from the water station. The small car park can accommodate one or two vehicles, provided access to the site is kept clear.
(S/E) Take the path under the trees of the Bois de Romagnac until, after 1 km, you emerge at the edge of a first field.
(1) Walk around it until you reach an irrigation pond. The countryside then unfolds in a series of rolling hills. Walk along the pond, then follow the path to the left which leads back into the woods. Continue for about fifty metres.
(2) Don’t miss the narrower path that veers off to the left. Continue above the Ruisseau de Guitardio until, about 600 m further on, you rejoin the tarmac road of Serra Belay.
(3) Turn left. As you round the bend, enjoy the view of the Fronton hillsides to the south. Continue to the junction with the D94.
(4) Follow it carefully, turning left and continuing for about 200 m.
(5) Take the dirt track on the right from the sign saying “No entry except for residents”. The second part of this route runs through the oak woodland of the Bois de Sépat. Begin a steep and sometimes slippery descent leading to the Ruisseau de Lanchanne.
(6) Turn right to reach another branch of this stream in the Bois de Grifoulet and follow it. Then turn left at a 90° angle to find a path to follow on the left.
(7) You can veer off to the right for a moment to take in the view of the valley from a second pond. Retrace your steps and turn right to continue the descent, interspersed with a few climbs, still through the woods. Cross the Ruisseau de Lanchanne to reach the left bank and continue following it.
(8) Further on, turn left to go round the inconspicuous Débat tip for 600 m; this has no negative impact on the route. You’ll come out onto a tarmac road.
(9) Turn left and follow it straight on to reach the D94.
(10) Turn right to reach the water station and the small car park (S/E).
