Park in Labeaume where car parks have been provided.
(S/E) Climb through the narrow streets of Labeaume without leaving the village until you reach the street that joins the D345 at the top of the village, at a crossroads with a speed bump.
(1) Cross over and follow the signs for "l'Issard, Boudon". Continue north, staying on the small tarmac road and ignoring the access roads to houses on the left or right.
(2) Cross the D315 carefully, leaving the houses of L'Issart on your left, and follow the small road heading roughly north. Stay on this small tarmac road until the end, ignoring the access roads on the left to La Graille. At the end of the road, slightly to the right, take a path that is not very visible at first but becomes more and more marked (a GPS may be useful). Cross a very wild area, gradually making out the dry stone edges of an old, fairly wide path. You will come to a crossroads with a yellow and white signposted fork on the right.
(3) Ignore this first fork and continue straight ahead for a few metres until you reach a second fork marked in yellow and white on the left (a missing cross, whose base has been knocked over, has been reconstructed with three stacked stones). Take the beautiful path on the left that crosses a wooded area. Continue straight ahead (slightly to the left) at a junction with a first track (La Plaine hiking signpost). The landscape opens up and the path crosses a second track. Take the wide path uphill straight ahead, slightly to the right, ignoring an access road on the right and following the curve to the left, which takes you back in the general direction of the Croix de Cavagnac.
(4) Follow the D315 to the right. There may be traffic, but it is possible to walk in the meadows to the left of the road. At the Croix de Mission, climb to the left to the village of Chapias, passing in front of the Chapelle Notre-Dame de la Délivrance.
(5) Continue to Rocher des Curés, following the area of meadows where trees have been pruned, to the end.
(6) Retrace your steps.
(5) Turn right and continue towards the Chapias Tower.
(7) Pass the access path to the tower and 100 m further on, turn left (water point) towards Chazalis.
At the three-way junction, keep right heading south towards Le Rossignol (goat farm).
Turn left at the next crossroads. Follow the road to a sharp left-hand bend, where a path branches off to the right and cuts across to Le Trible.
(8) At the crossroads, ignore the two tarmac roads on the left and the path on the far right. Almost opposite the arrival point and alongside the large house on the left, there is a beautiful path between walls. Continue straight on until you reach the road.
(9) Follow the road to the right. At the hiking signpost, take the shorter route to Labeaume via the road. Pass the hanging gardens of Récatadou and the community centre, and take the first street on the right.
(10) At the crossroads (calvary), turn right. Once you reach the D345, cross it, follow Rue du 19 Mars on the right opposite, turn left to go along the cemetery, then first turn left then right to return to the car park (S/E).
