Start from the large car park next to Marquay Town Hall.
(S/E) Leave the car park and take the D6 on the right, walk past the town hall and head towards the large Place Jean Tilho.
(1) At the crossroads, turn right onto the tarmac road towards Tamniès.
(2) At the Martellie wayside cross, turn left towards ‘Circular Walk of Callabout’ and pass between the houses, veering slightly to the left. Follow the path down through the meadows, climb into the woods and walk alongside the walnut grove. The path veers off to the right and enters the woods. It winds its way down to a crossroads of paths below. Turn left. Still under the cover of the woods, the path stretches along a wetland area in the Grande Beune valley, dominated by limestone cliffs eroded during the Ice Age.
(3) When you reach a car park along the D6, turn left onto the D6 for about 80 metres and then head up the grassy path on the right, which leads to Pavadelle. The terraced path is overlooked by a cliff. At its end, the track winds through a wood of oak and hornbeam trees to a crossroads of four paths (the route is slightly offset on the map).
(4) Turn left. At the edge of the woodland, head up through the farmland to Le Pont farm, further up.
(5) At the top, between the sheds, turn left. The small road is the main one. Go down the first road on the right towards Lancement. At the bottom, in the bend, take the left-hand stony track leading up to the hamlet of La Gafferie.
(6) Follow the signs for the circular Boucle de Callabout on the left as you head down the path towards Le Marenal. It enters a chestnut wood and passes in front of the fountain-hut.
(7) Turn left then right along the field before turning left onto a shaded sunken track.
(8) At the top, on the road, turn left.
(9) After a stretch of open terrain, at the next crossroads, head down to the right towards the hamlet of Callabout (watch out for the signposting). There is a large Yellow Cross on the left; this is where you must turn to rejoin the yellow signposting about 200 metres further on, then turn right to reach Callabout via the road.
(10) In Callabout, turn right at the large house towards La Croix d’Alix. At the wayside cross, turn left. The grassy path continues straight on and becomes a narrow track. On the D6, turn left and then immediately right. The path plunges into the woods, climbs up alongside a sawmill and runs close to the D6. Opposite, the path descends between chestnut trees, veers left and climbs back up towards the D6, at the corner of a house. Take the D6 to the left until you reach the crossroads.
(1) Cross the large square to return to the car park near the town hall (S/E).
