The Aubas Castle Circular Route

The route starts in Aubac at the car park by the War Memorial and its signpost.

(S/E) With your back to the river, take the main road on the left, walk past the school and continue to the junction with the Route de Montignac; cross it and carry on straight ahead along the Route de Sauvebœuf towards the château.
Carry on along this small road, pass the château, then head up to the right to the hamlet of La Borie.

(1) When you reach the D45, Route de la Tranchée, head straight on through the woodland until you reach Route de l’Escaleyrou. Cross it and continue straight on. Stay on the path on the right twice, then keep to the left until you reach the junction near the road.

(3) Turn off onto the path on the right, then right again. Continue along this path until you reach the hamlet of Vialard.

(4) Leave Vialard on your left and carry on straight ahead until you reach the road. Keep going straight until you join the Route du Combel.

(5) Turn left towards the hamlet of Le Combel; once there, turn right onto the Route du Combel and follow it until you reach a path leading straight ahead. At the junction of the paths, turn right and stay on the right-hand path towards the hamlet of Pechany, beginning a descent until you emerge from the woods.

(6) Turn left to reach the hamlet of Pechany.

(7) Take the path that branches off to the far left and climbs towards the hamlet of L’Arzemme and the Route des Palombes.
