Castle visits: Puységur partly in ruins, easy to access, no one around, interesting Arcamont easy to access, no one around, building of relative interest, but magnificent view of the valley Roquefort inaccessible, a shame...
Good route for winter. UK

Too much tarmac road.
On our round trip to Arcamont Castle, we didn't see anyone, no problems... unlike at Roquefort Castle, which is private property and closed to the public. We were treated to comments and a "lecture" from the owner... our presence was definitely not welcome. (Only two of us.)

Hello,
An easy hike for a long walk, with quite a lot of tarmac paths.
However, some signage is missing.

Hello,
A very pleasant route through the vast countryside of the Gers, allowing you to clear your mind and fill your lungs with fresh air.
Early risers may even encounter some wildlife.

The circular Castle Loop in Roquefort is nice but a bit sad because most of the route is on tarmac roads.
It is not possible to visit the "private" castles. Beautiful scenery, but it is better to rely on the map
rather than the description.

Having already covered the Puységur section on another occasion, we set off from Roquefort and resumed the route at point 4 (at the water tower).
I would like to point out two minor problems: the crossing of the Ourlan stream between points 5 and 6 is via a ford, and there has been heavy rain which has swollen the streams, so you need to be well shod.
Then, the last grassy path that starts from the Château d'Ascarmont has not been cleared in its central section (which is surprising for a path listed as a GR de Pays), so we took the adjacent field.
Finally, the crossing of the Talouch stream on this path is via a rudimentary bridge (two electricity poles).
This route took us 2½ hours on a beautiful May afternoon, and we would like to thank you for suggesting this hike on Visorando.

No problem, your French is very good.

Kind regards

Thanks to Dill for this beautiful hike through the fields of Gers.
— Vaguely marked with yellow "PR1" signs. Hiking sign next to the church.
— Hike completed without any difficulty using the Visorando description and map (no GPS).
— Start: red/yellow GRP to Puységur. Beautiful castle/ruins there.
— Lots of beautiful trails and dirt paths. But also quite a bit of tarmac, especially from marker 5.5 to 9: these are long kilometres of balancing on narrow grassy edges. ;-)
Thank you!

A peaceful stroll, a stroke of luck, beautiful light
One small downside: I found the tarmac section a bit significant

Thanks, Dill

A very pleasant and peaceful country walk, with lots of orchid-covered wasteland...
Thanks again to Dill.
