Description of the walk

Park in the designated spaces along the D600, if possible in front of the town hall. In front of the town hall, there is a sign with information about the rules of the game and the route.

(S/E) Head towards Cordes-sur-Ciel, staying on the same side of the road, then turn right onto Route de Fargues. Pass the houses in Lacalm and you will come to a panoramic viewpoint.

(1) Leave the road and follow the path on the left, which runs alongside the swimming pool and returns to the D600.

(2) Cross with extreme caution: there is no protected crossing and the road is very busy. Follow the small road opposite and pass the water treatment plant. Take the first path on the left and continue straight ahead until you reach the Pont des Ânes bridge over the Cérou.

(3) Retrace your steps for about 100 metres, then take the path on the right. Approach the Cérou, follow it for a short while, then turn left away from it. You will arrive in front of the Saint-Martin Church.

(4) You can take a virtual tour of the interior of this building. Just behind the Salle du Patrimoine, another virtual tour is also available. Head towards the D600, cross with the same caution and follow the Route de Loubers opposite until you reach the wash house.

(5) Turn back to the departmental road and turn right to return to the car park (S/E).
