(S/E) With your back to the Tourist Office, head left, passing in front of the café. At the crossroads by the bridge, carry on straight ahead along Rue de la Calinière. After the last house at the foot of the hill, take the small path leading down to the right. At the gardens, turn left.
(1) Take the road leading down to the right. Just before the D802, turn left onto the path and head straight down towards the countryside. At the four-way junction, go straight on and, at the Fork in the road, keep right to pass in front of the Croix du Sicaire.
(2) At the end of the track, cross the D802 to reach the field opposite, then follow the D119 along the grass verge. When you reach the ‘give way’ sign, cross straight ahead and then turn left to skirt the road on the right. After 30 m, veer to the right for safety. Continue downhill to rejoin the road, following the wheat field.
(3) Leave the wheat field to the right, heading towards Saint-Dominique. After 300 m, turn left towards Monplaisir, then carry on straight on towards Blanchard: the small road is a dead end until you reach the hamlet and offers lovely views of the Blanchard reservoir.
(4) At Blanchard Farm, take the track on the right and head straight up the grassy path. At the top, take the small road to the left. After about 700 m, turn left.
(5) Turn left again onto a dirt track heading towards a wood. As you emerge from the wood, turn left: you’ll catch a glimpse of the Blanchard reservoir from higher up before heading down into the vineyards.
(6) At the bottom, head right along the stony track for 200 m, then turn left onto the road lined with plane trees.
(7) Cross the D626 (watch out for traffic), then the lorry turning area, and take the path between the trees. In front of the farm, take the path on the right which runs alongside the Ruisseau de la Fontvieille. After 300 metres, once past the vineyards and level with the small pond, turn left onto the grassy path, then turn left again onto the same path about sixty metres further on.
(8) Turn right onto the stony track, following the alternative route (signposted) to the Chemin de Saint-Dominique. The track on the left leads to Montréal for the full 30 km route. Pass through the Saint-Étienne farm to reach the Lasserre-de-Prouille cemetery.
(9) Turn right towards the village. Cross the D623, head up the Grand Rue alongside the vineyard and enter the village via the Place de la Poste.
(10) Head up towards the medieval gate and, once inside the circular wall, turn left, then left again at the church onto Rue Saint-Étienne. Back on the Grand Rue, turn right onto Rue du Presbytère, then left onto Rue du Marin. At the bottom, on Rue Notre Dame, turn right and follow the small road straight on (Chemin de Brezilhac).
(11) After about 1 km and past the bend to the left (ignore the first paths on the right), turn right onto theGR®®78and follow the pilgrims’ route to Santiago de Compostela as far as Fanjeaux. Climb up the wooded hill.
(12) After the gentle descent, turn left and enjoy the view towards Fanjeaux. At the next set of crossroads, turn right twice to keep Fanjeaux in sight and head down towards Saint-Martin.
(13) At the end of the path, follow the small road to the left, then take the D 119 to the left for 100 m. Finally, head up the first path on the left.
(14) At the top, follow the small road to the right, which takes you back to the village of Fanjeaux via the Chemin du Moulin, the bridge and the Place du Treil, the starting point of the walk (S/E).
