Chemin d'Agros

de fr

The Agros trail will take you through the village of Pouzols and its surrounding countryside. It passes near the Agros stream, which marks the boundary between Poulan-Pouzols and Lombers. Thanks to its reservoirs, this small stream used to power the mills that were once used to grind grain. Remains of these old mills can still be seen, such as the Raco mill and the Vitrac mill.

Trail of community interest created by the Centre Tarn Tourist Office. See § Practical information.

A beautiful, well-shaded route in the heart of nature, but there is a risk of getting lost as it crosses other routes with poor signage at strategic points.

A relatively short route, making it ideal for mid-December. A little damp in places, but very pleasant overall.

Despite a week of rain leading up to our walk, all the paths were passable. It was a pleasant route that we completed in 1½ hours at a normal walking pace.

A "good walk" takes 1½ hours rather than 2 hours. Looking for "the remains of the mills" can be fun for children as they are not easy to spot Otherwise, this hike is more like a bucolic post-lunch stroll than a hike worthy of the name At marker 243 on the map, be careful to take the path on the left as it is tempting to continue straight ahead up the hill.

A beautiful hike, with few paved roads, best done on a slightly overcast day if you're worried about the sun. All the signs on site point to the ARGOS trail, not Agros. The region is not part of the Massif Central at all; we are in the TARN, in the Occitanie region.
