Park in the car park near the footbridge over the Célé, on the edge of the D41 in the hamlet of Les Granges in Orniac.
(S/E) Cross the footbridge, turn immediately left at the electricity box to ford the stream coming from Les Peyrugues and join the path marked with yellow lines. In case of high water, go around the football field following the markings. The path winds upwards and then joins the Route Forestière des Falaises on the plateau.
(1) Turn right and continue to follow the yellow markings (Canadian crossings). Turn left at the first fork and then right at the second. Cross the Route Forestière de Naves and continue to join the Route Forestière de Montclar.
(2) Follow it to the left. It makes a wide circular loop. Ignore the Route Forestière des Chevreuils on the left and take the path on the right, Route Forestière du Dolmen, in the middle of a very wide firebreak.
(3) Arrive at the Dolmen du Pech del Cayré, in an enclosure on the right. Water points for animals but also a water reserve for firefighters. Return to the Route Forestière du Dolmen and continue to the right.
(4) Cross the tarmac road that descends to Cabrerets via Mongirou (traffic regulated). Continue straight ahead on the forest road along the firebreak, then turn left at a right angle. Follow the path along the firebreak, which narrows. You will reach a transmission tower.
(5) At the large pylon with emergency service antennas, continue to follow the marked path, which initially descends gently through meadows and woods.
(6) Turn left onto a steeper and more difficult stony path. At the tarmac road, turn right then left, passing under the metal railway bridge. Join the departmental road at the entrance to the road tunnel.
(7) Take the bridge over the Célé on the right towards Conduché and follow the D662. Cross the D41 junction (Cabrerets) towards Bouziès.
(8) Take the first road on the right uphill, marked with white and redGR®651 signs. The climb up to Pech de Conduché is through the woods. Continue to follow theGR® signs, which first turn left at a 90° angle and then right at a right angle, to reach the viewpoint.
(9) A large green mark on a stone on the ground indicates the viewpoint and the unmarked path to take to descend directly to Cabrerets. This path, which is well marked at the start, becomes more difficult but remains passable.
(10) Join theGR® at the bottom of the slope, turn right and arrive above the cemetery, which you must walk alongside.
Take the tarmac road that descends steeply to the left before the church. At the town hall square, turn right to descend towards the D41.
(11) At the crossroads, turn left and walk along the banks of the Célé. After the Mongirou bridge, turn left onto the tarmac road going uphill. At the start of this road, there is a wash house and a tap with water from the Chèvre Blanche spring, which is depicted in a cave in the cliff at the end of the street above the houses. Continue to follow theGR® trail until you reach a fork in the road after a fairly steep climb.
(12) Please note that theGR® (white and red) and the yellow-marked path separate here. Continue on theGR® climbing to the left. After the climb, continue on the plateau, following the white-red markings northwards. Pass Cavirande and rejoin a section of tarmac road.
(13) At the end of the straight road, turn right, continuing to follow the white and red markings.
When you reach the road at Espinières, continue along the road until you reach the junction with the D40. Please note that the path on the right shown on the map, which leads directly to the bend below, no longer exists.
(14) Leave theGR® for the D40, which descends to the right. After about 400 metres, take the path on the left that crosses a stream and then climbs up opposite (the paths marked on the map have disappeared under the vegetation).
(15) At the crossroads, as you rejoin theGR®, turn right onto the Liauzu path. After a gentle slope, the path turns into a trail that descends rapidly to pass over the D41 road tunnel. A circular turn to the right takes you back to the tunnel entrance on the departmental road.
(16) Turn right to go through the tunnel, pass in front of the Musée de l'Insolite and continue to the car park at the start (S/E).
