Description of the walk

The starting point for the hike is the town hall car park, where you can park your car. The entire hike is marked with yellow signs.

(S/E) From the town hall car park, take Chemin Sainte Catherine to the D281 departmental road. At the crossroads, turn left for about 50 metres, then continue right onto Chemin Bas de la Micalerié.
Continuing along this path, you will take a trail flanked by stone walls that will lead you to Chemin Haut de la Micalerié. Follow this path to the D106.

(1) At the D106 crossroads, turn left and continue for several hundred metres (follow the yellow markings) before turning right onto a path that leads to the water tower. Walk along the left-hand side and you will come to a single track behind the water tower that will take you to Chemin de Cadabuech.

(2) When you leave the single track, you will see a sign for "La Rouvière" (there are several options for continuing your route). Continue towards the hamlet of Boisset by turning left.

(3) When you arrive at the hamlet of Boisset, you will find the Boisset temple. From there, continue towards the centre of Boisset and Gaujac, following the road through Montvaillant. You will arrive at the town hall car park (S/E).

a walk of little interest, except for the last section under the woods and the hamlet near the temple, where there is a lovely view and some old stones. It is an easy walk with no difficulty.

Please note that at point 1, the path indicated on the right towards the water tower is marked as a private road.
So, unless I am mistaken, you should ignore this and take the path anyway, continuing on to the water tower.

A short, easy walk with no particular difficulties, but not particularly interesting either. There are a few pleasant stretches through the woods and the old village of Boisset. You can take the opportunity to browse at a flea market you pass at the end of the walk in Boisset-et-Gaujac.

Another alternative, which I find more pleasant, but which takes a little longer.
At 2, continue straight on the road towards "Chemin de l'Arbousset". After the bend, take the small path on the left. Continue straight on.
Resume at No. 3, continuing straight ahead.
There is also another alternative for reaching the town hall: after the temple, at the departmental road (instead of continuing straight on the Montvaillant crossroads), turn right and continue until you reach the first small road on the left. After the hamlet of Gaujac, approximately halfway along the straight road (before it starts to climb), turn left onto a small path and continue straight ahead until you reach the town hall.
