Description of the walk

Departure from Place du Lavoir, shaded car park along Chemin de la Mouline, just after the square.

(S/E) Take the Grand Rue, pass the Musée de la Balance and arrive at the Route du Pastel. Follow it to the right for a few dozen metres, then turn left onto a path that leads to a farm.

(1) Take the path on the right that climbs towards the woods (sign at the entrance to the woods) and join a road.

(2) Turn left and after 150 m (sign) turn right onto Chemin de la Brogne. Continue south until you reach Route des Galiniers. Enjoy the view of the Pyrenees

(3) Turn right, then left 150 m further on, after the post box: sign for "Boucle de la Brogne".

(4) After the beehives (on the right of the road), turn left (sign for Boucle de la Brogne), continue straight ahead and cross a road at a place called Les Pauziès. Continue straight ahead until you reach the junction with Chemin de Bagatelle.

(5) Go up this road on the left, cross a wooded area and, after passing under a power line, you will arrive at a road near the Brogne.

(6) Continue straight ahead (sign for Boucle de la Brogne) and after the farm, take the vineyard path on the left and go downhill. A yellow mark indicates the path through the woods to a paved road.

(7) Turn left. Opposite, you will see the bell tower of the Church of Sainte-Sigolène. Follow this road to the hamlet of Gratelause.

(8) Be careful to leave the road by taking the path on the right before the house (sign for Boucle de la Brogne) and continue to the D19.

(9) Turn right and continue until you reach the bend with a large farmhouse and its hexagonal dovecote.

(10) Turn left onto Chemin de Pinseguerre and left again after 50 m (sign for Parisot). Cross a stream and continue to the D87.

(11) Turn left onto the main road, then right, and descend to the Place du Lavoir (S/E).

Good hike, easy and almost entirely shaded along the entire route.
Perhaps a few signposts are missing, but that's not too serious.
Worth doing

First experience, accompanied by more experienced hikers. Requires a bit of experimentation to use, but once you get the hang of it, it's very accurate.

A leisurely hike that took 3 hours. Very little road, just to get back to the trails.

Due to time constraints, we walked from 1 to 3, then took the road from 3 to 6 and returned to the starting point. Approximately 7.3 km and 170 m of elevation gain. A lovely discovery of a varied walk through woods, trails and paths, with few roads and relatively shaded. The climbs are gentle. We'll definitely do the other part!

A pleasant hike. It was the end of winter and I didn't see anyone else. Some beautiful early spring scenery and a walk through the vineyards!
The hike is supposed to take 3.5 hours, but I walk fairly quickly and completed it in 2 hours and 20 minutes.

Very beautiful hike, varied landscapes, lots of pleasant undergrowth, very well marked.
Hike completed by two couples aged 79 and 75, and 77 and 75. We plan to do it again in the spring and would recommend it to everyone.
best regards

Great effort by the local association to mark the trail. Just one small point to clarify: the path to take at point 3 is not in front of the "turn left" sign, but 10 metres further on, AFTER the post box. (A hiker recently got lost here). The "Boucle de la Brogne" sign is missing.
Then follow the small forest path marked with a Y sign to point 4 only. The beehives are no longer there!
We enjoyed the small paths, the sunken lanes and the lack of tarmac. No cars!
My GPS showed 11.5 km and 275 m of elevation gain.

Very pleasant route, with wide, well-marked paths that we followed until No. 3. After that, the trail was completely impassable: numerous long brambles blocked the path completely, reaching over a metre in height (I tried to get through for about ten metres – 10 minutes – but the path was still blocked). This path is clearly not maintained; it might be a good idea to change the description of this route (it seems that there is a detour mentioned in one of the comments below).
There are some magnificent wide views in the section we did (we continued by going directly from No. 3 to No. 6, and then back to the village of Parisot)
