Park in the En Solomiac cultural centre car park. The car park is currently being used by bungalows for school purposes, pending the renovation of the Verfeil nursery school. However, there are still a few spaces available.
(S/E) Start the walk by heading towards the children's playground (slide) and turn opposite, following the Flèche Verte sign. After a short, slightly steep descent, the path approaches the Rieubaquié stream and arrives at a crossroads with a transverse path.
(1) Leave this cross path (return path), continue straight ahead and follow the Rieubaquié stream to Rue de La Fontaine Baptisée. Please note that some sections may be muddy in wet weather.
(2) At the intersection with Rue de la Fontaine Baptisée, turn right and then immediately left onto Chemin de Gaillaguet (towards "En Dayde II"). At the end of the tarmac road, continue along the shaded path that climbs towards the Cimetière des Petites Filles Modèles.
Go around the Domaine de Gaillaguet on the left and continue climbing until you reach the crossroads at a place called En Jeambert.
(3) Continue straight ahead and join the D 20G.
(4) Once you reach the D 20G, turn left to go to the Cimetière des Petites Filles Modèles.
For more information on the history of the Comtesse de Ségur and her granddaughters, Camille and Madeleine de Malaret, see Practical Information.
(5) After your visit, retrace your steps and return to the previous crossroads.
(4) Keep left and continue along the road for about 300 metres until you reach Chemin d'En Bousquet.
(6) Take the Chemin d'En Bousquet on the left, which descends towards Lac de la Balerme.
(7) When you reach the lake, turn left to walk around it. Be careful, as some sections can be muddy in wet weather. Once you reach the dam, cross it and turn right at the end. Continue around the lake for 300 m until you reach Chemin de Laraignal.
(8) Turn left onto Chemin de Laraignal, which climbs towards Château de Malaret (not shown on the IGN map).
Be careful, just before you reach Laraignal, there is an unsafe well on the right. 200 m after the well, turn right and take the gravel path. Pass under the high-voltage power line and continue right on Chemin de Laraignal.
Back on the D 20G, follow it to the left. There is a beautiful view of Verfeil, and you can see Château de Malaret on the left. You will then arrive at the crossroads in En Garric.
(9) At En Garric, leave the D 20G and turn right onto path No. 5, which descends towards Verfeil. Follow it for 500 m and you will find a path on the left at the edge of the fields.
(10) Take this path on your left, heading south-west, for about 500 metres until you reach a dirt track. Turn right towards the place called "En Bax". Do not go all the way to the place; after about 100 metres, turn left. You will come to a road at the place called "Le Moulin Neuf".
(11) Cross the road and continue straight ahead until you reach the bend. Leave this path and continue straight ahead on the path that descends. At the first junction, after 200 metres, take another path on the right. At the next junction, after 500 metres, turn left until you reach the place called "En Caravelles" where the path joins the bend in a small road.
(12) Turn left onto the road for a few dozen metres and, after the right-hand bend, turn immediately right onto a dirt track. Follow this track northwards to the Rieubaquié stream. Cross it, taking care as this section can be muddy in wet weather. Immediately afterwards, you will reach the junction you came to after setting off.
(1) Continue straight ahead on the "d'En Rispet" path to climb towards Verfeil. When you reach the main road, turn left and follow the road downhill to the wide right-hand bend. Be careful, as there may be heavy traffic. Stay on the left-hand pavement. In the middle of the bend, turn left and head for the car park of the En Solomiac cultural centre (S/E).
