Description of the walk

Hiking trail no. 2

(S/E) Head towards the centre of the village and cross it. Pass a cross and the church, then go up the road (Route de l'Occitanie) until you reach a T-junction, at the Bourdou cross and a bench.

(1) Continue straight ahead on Route de la Séverie, then turn left after a large shed (carpentry workshop). Enter the woods and follow the road to the edge of the forest.

(2) Go down to the left (yellow signpost) onto the road and at an intersection head towards Le Théron. Pass the last and only house (go through the car park) and go up a path through the woods. When you reach the three-way junction, take the path on the right until you reach a road near La Séverie.

(3) Turn left, pass the junction with Route de la Boucarie, cross the stream and climb up to the hamlet of La Boucarie.

(4) Turn right, keeping to the Route de la Boucarie, pass Fonfrège and join the crossroads just next to the Bourdou cross and the bench. Keep left until you reach a crossroads.

(5) Continue straight ahead, pass the cemetery and a group of houses on the left. Turn right down Chemin de la Sablière, pass the post office and hotel, and turn right up towards the town hall car park (S/E).
