(S/E) Follow the tarmac road to the farm after the La Flèche Bleue stopover lodge. Continue along a path on the left above the farm. The path continues with a moderate climb. After the left-hand bend, it becomes steeper and arrives at a three-way junction.
(1) Ignore the path on the left and continue straight ahead. At the next crossroads, continue to the right. Stay on the most marked path and ignore the paths on the left until you reach a track (GR®).
(2) Take the track on your left. At the four-way junction, stay on the main track and continue straight ahead.
(3) At the four-way crossroads, take care to turn right down a slight slope, staying on the main track. Cross the valley following the circular bend in the track to the left, then climb back up until you reach a new crossroads forming a triangle with a central embankment.
(4) Take the track on the right uphill (towards Pech de Bourlande). Ignore the various paths branching off to the left and right and continue on this track, which follows the ridge. At the top, take the wider path on the left that leads to Pech (view of the large Bourlande farm). You will come to a tarmac road, with a cazelle (dry stone building) opposite.
(5) Continue right on the road above (old rusty road sign). After the pass, continue on the road, cross a wooded area and join a grassy path on the left at Pech de Cuzals.
(6) Turn left onto this path. Cross a wide track to reach the Quatre Chemins crossroads. Continue left along the tarmac road to the next crossroads with a tarmac road at Mas del Rey (GR®651).
(7) Turn right onto the Mas del Rey road. At the Mas de Nadal junction, leave the road and turn right onto the grassy area with a tree in the middle. Follow the path to the left and after 150 metres you will reach the dolmen crossroads.
(8) Take a detour to the left to reach the dolmen.
(9) Return to the crossroads via the same path.
(8) Continue left downhill into the woods between low walls, heading south. The path then leaves the ridge on the left. You will reach the first houses of Vieux Sauliac.
(10) Turn left to cross Vieux Sauliac with its houses in the cliff (viewpoint and information panels). Pass in front of the gate of the castle and the Cuzals museum (in the hairpin bend). Join the RD41. Follow it to the right for about 500 metres. Turn right, cross Rue des Fargues, then take the alleyway of Vieux Sauliac to rejoin Rue des Travers.
(11) Turn left onto this street, which is also part of theGR®651 trail. Follow the track that turns right into a small valley.
(12) At the hairpin bend, continue straight ahead. Continue along the path, cross the valley and begin the climb. Pass two hairpin bends and reach a three-way junction on the plateau.
(13) Follow the path that branches off to the left. This crosses the Combe Cave and joins a track.
(14) Take this track on the left and after 100 metres turn right. Pass a building on your left and continue through the woods to reach a crossroads. Continue left and you will arrive at the crossroads of the Quercy Open Air Museum.
(15) Turn almost 180° to the left onto a tarmac road (GR®651). You will reach a crossroads with a path between two fields.
(16) Leave the road and take the path on the right. You will reach the first crossroads of the circular route (signposted "la Flèche Bleue" stopover lodge).
(2) Turn left and return to the starting point (S/E).
