Circular Sentier des Goutères

Discover the local area in the heart of nature. Departure from the commune of Palaminy, on the right bank of the Garonne, at the hamlet of Les Pesquès on the D62. Stay alert, as you will be walking on tarmac roads for much of the route, although there is not much traffic; I only came across one vehicle. However, beautiful paths and tracks await you, and the Ruisseau des Goutères stream is a sight to behold. The route is very well signposted, even if some points are hidden by dense vegetation. Thanks to the Department.

Description of the walk

Park in the car park on the edge of the D62 at Les Pesquès.

(S/E) Cross the road very carefully and head towards the hamlet.

(1) Leave the street on your right, which you will take on the way back, and continue straight on Chemin de Garonne until you reach the crossroads. Turn left onto the road called Chemin de Cachan and return to the D62. Turn right and follow the road carefully until you reach the first crossroads.

(2) Turn right and follow the D49d towards Plagne until you reach a place called Artiguon. Continue past the crossroads for about 50 metres.

(3) Turn right to cross the ditch and climb the earthen steps marking the start of a path. Cross Moncrabun and negotiate the 90° left turn.

(4) Turn right and go down the farm track. Further on, ignore a path on the right that goes down to the road you took at the start, and go straight on to the next junction.

(5) Descend to the left and follow the Ruisseau des Goutères stream.

(6) Cross the stream, taking care in heavy rain. Continue along the right bank of the stream and follow the path to the end, where it joins the D83.

(7) Follow it to the right until you reach the crossroads after the Hontasse buildings. Turn right onto the road and continue to the three-way junction.

(8) Turn right and stay on the same road, ignoring the turn-offs to Ardian, Le Vigné and then Blanquette. You will come to a three-way junction.

(9) Turn left onto Chemin des Pesquès and return to the junction you passed at the start.

(1) Continue left and return to the car park (S/E).

On level 3, it is easy to walk past the small wooden log staircase without noticing it.
It is located 5 metres after the small fire hydrant. You have to step over the ditch and be careful
to climb up about 3 metres.
