S3 loop marked by the La Symphorine association
Park below the church of Saint-Symphorien near the cemetery
(S/E) Below the former priory of Saint-Symphorien, with your back to the meadow and the information board, turn right onto the S3 marked trail. Continue for about 100 metres, then take the GRP® trail on the left for a few metres.
(1) At the fork, take the path on the right (leaving theGRP®). You will soon reach another crossroads. Turn right onto the path (be careful, as this section of the circuit is prone to flooding after heavy rain). Continue along this path until you reach a crossroads with a road.
(2) Continue along the road to the left. Then leave it and take the path to the left. You will reach the hamlet of Racanière (a 17th-century Quercy-style dovecote).
(3) At the road, take the path on the left and follow the signs to the hamlet of Cavaillès Basses.
(4) Continue along the road to the left. Leave it at the first crossroads on the right. Cross the hamlet of Quercy.
(5) Follow the road to the left, then immediately turn right onto the path to reach the hamlet of La Salle.
(6) At the road, continue to the right. Cross the road at the hamlet of Pourouyou and continue south to join the GRP®.
(7) Take it on the right and walk gently along a virtually flat section. You will come to a road at the hamlet of Gusounat.
(8) Keep left on theGRP® and S3 shared path, heading towards Saint-Symphorien. You will come to a 90° bend.
(9) Turn left and enter the forest: be careful, as the descent can be slippery in wet weather. At the bottom of the descent, follow the boxwood path on the right that runs alongside the Travers de Saint-Symphorien and the Sietges stream to reach the meadow and the information panel (S/E).
