Description of the walk

Yellow markings

(S/E) Opposite the town hall in Beaumont, descend to the right towards the Argent stream and climb back up to the left via Chemin du Buherle.

(1) Turn right at the first turn, onto Chemin de Cantemerle. Follow this small road to the hamlet of Le Bézy.

(2) Turn left. After about 200 metres, leave the road and take the first dirt track going up to the left.

(3) When you reach a tarmac road, follow it to the left. Pass through Pratmarre and you will come to a crossroads (private dovecote).

(4) Turn right and follow the road for about 600 metres.

(5) At a left-hand bend, leave the road and continue right on a dirt track that runs alongside wooded areas on your right.

(6) At a place called Fargué, cross a small road and continue straight ahead on the dirt track that crosses the fields and crosses the Lantine. Continue straight ahead until you reach Chemin de Gastou. At the houses, continue on Chemin de Gastou.

(7) At the crossroads, turn left, then take the first tarmac road on the right. Pass under the high-voltage power lines, go through Carrichou and continue towards Miremont.

(8) At the edge of the village, at the T-junction, turn right, then immediately left onto a dirt track leading downhill to a ford. Go up the opposite side, continue straight ahead on the road and you will arrive in the village.

(9) In Miremont, follow the yellow markings, pass the post office, turn left at the second street, Rue du 19 Mars 1962. Take the first right and follow Rue Thomas Severat, then Rue Jean Nouziès on the left.

(10) At a triangular crossroads, cross the old bridge over the Esquers on the left, turn left onto the D43, then take the first road on the right, Chemin de la Rue. Follow this road for about 1.3km, passing a riding centre.

(11) At the crossroads, turn right (leaving Route de Trigueboire on your left) and, after a few metres, turn left onto the road towards Burguerolles.

(12) After 700 metres, cross the bridge over a stream and immediately leave the road, which turns right towards Burguerolles. Then turn left onto a dirt track and follow it for about 2 km. On an uphill stretch, the track enters the woods, makes two sharp turns to the left and right, and descends towards a small stream.

(13) Cross the ford and continue straight ahead to reach a crossroads.

(14) Continue along the small road opposite for 1 km, passing in front of Ferme Saint-Martin to reach the D43.

(15) At the crossroads, turn left and continue for about 400 metres. Then turn right onto the well-marked dirt track between the houses opposite No. 865, which climbs towards Montmaurel. You will come to a crossroads.

(16) Turn left and then immediately right onto the path that descends between recent houses, the Chemin de Montmaurel. It becomes a dirt track again after 300 metres and arrives at Mestrebernat. Turn right, then left to reach the D74, which leads back to Beaumont-sur-Lèze. For your safety, go through the upper part of the village, following the first street on the left, and you will find the town hall (S/E).

In Miremont, there is a garden near the stadium where you can rest. The village is pleasant to visit. There is a decorated sarcophagus in the church.

The mill is pretty, but unfortunately you can't even get close enough to take a photo.
The only attraction apart from sport is the view of the Pyrenees when walking along the ridge.

A somewhat long but very easy hike. Mainly on tarmac (small country roads with little traffic on Sundays). Beautiful views, especially of the Pyrenees.
Don't hesitate to stroll around the two villages with their pretty streets (both churches were open, which is rare).
In Miremont, check out the old grain measures, the millstone from an old mill, etc.

I agree with Bernard Condamines: long and warm between 10 and 12. On 3 May, it started to get warm again.
Some sections were still muddy.
The description is impeccable and sufficient for completing the route.

Beautiful walk. Monotonous from 10 to 12, but you have to complete the circular loop. Be careful on this section in hot weather.
During our picnic, we were caught up by another group of hikers who seemed to be coming from Lagardelle.

We had our picnic after point 12, on the edge of a large meadow where a windsock was flying. An ultralight airfield?
Does anyone know?

Departure from Miremont, signage – yellow – very good, small picnic area in Beaumont at the foot of the church in a very nice park.
The signposting in the commune of Beaumont needs to be improved! A pleasant walk.

Well described, good route, good details. Interest is personal to each individual and very subjective... for me, the objective was achieved, given certain constraints on the day: only one morning to devote to hiking, so not many kilometres to travel by car, no difficulties and no time wasted on the route...
Be careful at the Miremont post office; you need to walk past the old post office building, not the current post office located in the town hall offices.

Pleasant hike but too much tarmac. Fine for a beginner, some beautiful scenery. Suitable for children who are good walkers.
