Description of the walk

Park in the car park behind the town hall and school.

(S/E) Leave the car park, keeping to the right for 100 metres, then take the Route de la Boissonnade on the left to the church.

(1) In front of the church, continue along the road opposite and at the three-way junction, at the monument, turn left towards Boissonnade, then continue to the end of the road and follow the path that extends it.

(2) Turn right onto the grassy path between two fields that descends towards a group of trees with three pine trees at a place called Auriac. At the end of the descent, leave the three pine trees on your right and continue along the path on the left, then take the road to the right.

(3) Cross the road and follow the path that descends opposite. Cross the small stone bridge over the Ruisseau de la Goutère and join the road to the right. Continue along this road for 1.2 km to a place called Le Pré du Pont and turn left to walk alongside the house.

(4) At the corner of the horse paddock, leave the path with the yellow and red crosses opposite and go down the path to the right. Cross the Ruisseau de la Goutère via the small wooden bridge and continue along the path through the woods. At the "private road" sign, go around the Chichet house on the right and continue to the next intersection.

(5) At the bend in the road, continue along the grassy path opposite until you reach the Bournazel road, which you should take to the right. At the junction, keep to the right, ignoring the access road to Malpas.

(6) At the intersection, turn left and follow the road until you reach two umbrella pines on the right at a place called La Pastoure.

(7) Turn right to pass between the two umbrella pines, then in front of the Pastoure house, and follow the red and whiteGR® or mountain bike trail No. 14 to the bridge over the Saint-Martin stream, which you should not cross.

(8) At the bottom of the descent, at the transformer before the bridge over the Ruisseau de Saint-Martin, take the road on the right for 100 m, then turn left onto the grassy path (mountain bike trail No. 14). Continue along the road.

(9) In a bend on the climb towards Gaillardas, leave mountain bike trail No. 14 and take the grassy path that descends to the left, marked mountain bike No. 6; follow this trail to the finish. At La Cuve, watch out for the dog and continue climbing on the road opposite to the church of Madaillan.

(1) Turn right and continue along the path you took at the start to reach the town hall and the car park behind it (S/E).

A magnificent hike, short and very pleasant even in hot weather (!) as there are many shaded areas... you just need to set off early enough in the morning...
Well done again and thank you to Pierredagen for this wonderful suggestion, among many others...

Beautiful hike. Be careful between the end of point 2 and the beginning of point 3 not to take the path towards the house with the infinity pool. It's a shame that many dogs along the route, whether behind fences or not, are so aggressive towards hikers.
