Departure from the Langlade community centre, next to the doctor's surgery.
(S/E) Go up Chemin des Aires, a pretty street lined with plane trees, then continue on Rue du Chasselas, then left onto Rue Haute and immediately right onto Rue de la Calade.
At the top of this street, turn right and follow the wide path that climbs above the village. When you reach the houses, go up the road on the right and you will come to the Moulin Cavalier (windmill).
Yellow markings
(1) Join the path at the edge of the pine forest that runs alongside the mill's meadow. Go around a house, pass by a drystone shelter (stone hut) and continue along the road. Cross Route de Nages (D137) and continue straight on along Chemin de Tres Patas. Follow this street until the end of the paved section.
No signposts
(2) Just before the DFCI track begins, take the path between two houses that descends to the right into the Valat de Tres Patas. Follow the main path that stays in the valley, cross a track and continue in the same direction until you reach the DFCI B20 track.
(3) Turn left onto the track, pass a first intersection and reach a second one.
Yellow markings
(4) At this intersection, turn right onto the DFCI B33 track and continue until you reach another intersection at the "Rossignol" marker.
(5) Continue on the track that branches off to the left. Walk alongside the enclosures and descend towards the high-voltage power line.
(6) Shortly before reaching it, at a marker, turn right onto the path towards the Capitelle du Grand Bois. Climb through the undergrowth, turn left following the yellow markings to discover a first drystone shelter, then a second. Continue under the high-voltage power line, following the yellow markings indicating drystone shelter du Grand Bois. Pass under the high-voltage power line again in the other direction and continue until you reach drystone shelter du Grand Bois, where you will find a pleasant spot to take a break in the shade of the holm oaks.
(7) Join the track behind the drystone shelter and turn left. After a right-hand bend, leave the track and follow the path that enters the forest on the left.
No markings
Follow this single track until you reach a new DFCI track.
Yellow markings
(8) Go up this track on the right, pass an intersection continuing straight ahead and then arrive at a second intersection called Carrefour de la Poste on the IGN map.
No markings
(9) Continue straight ahead to reach a paved road in a residential neighbourhood of Nages.
(10) Then turn left onto Chemin de Sarrafont and descend towards the D137. Walk down this road for a few metres and cross over to Chemin de la Combe des Moles.
(11) Walk up this street and, at the end, take the path that climbs up into the heath on the left (behind a barrier).
Yellow markings
After a few dozen metres, turn left towards Puech Marignan, following the yellow markings. Follow this marked path through clapas and drystone shelters. Join a track and when you reach a second track, turn left towards the Hauts de la Source du Ranquet. Follow this path, which leads to a wide track overlooking the Oppidum de Nages and the southern plain of La Vaunage.
(12) Go up the track on the right. At the intersection, continue straight ahead towards Castelas.
At the end of the track, you will come to a wide right-hand bend at a promontory, Le Castelas, the highest point in the village of Langlade.
(13) Continue along the track to the right, then turn left onto a new track that descends just before the stadium and runs along the edge of the old landfill site. Then descend via a wide, damaged path on the left and, after a bend at a small valley, descend via thethird path on the left (yellow markings) which passes above the cemetery. Follow the markings and descend towards Rue des Lavandières. Turn right to pass by the wash house and join Chemin des Aires.
Then descend to the left to return to the starting point (S/E).
