Description of the walk

Park on Rue Jean Parisot at the entrance to the village (choice of route) or on the church square.

(S/E) Head towards the primary school and start the hike by taking the path that descends to the right of it:GR®46, marked in white and red. At the bottom of the descent, turn right onto the road, then immediately left onto the grassy path. Continue to follow theGR®46and, after crossing the Ruisseau d'en Maux stream, pass by a well secured by an iron gate.

(1) Leave theGR®46, which branches off to the right, and continue straight ahead to tackle a short climb under a canopy of vegetation.

(2) Before crossing the stream again, take the path on the right.

(3) Keep to the left and continue straight ahead. Then climb a hundred metres to the left to reach the Fontaine de la Treille.

(4) Turn back.

(3) Turn left to climb up to the lake. Go around the lake on the right and you will reach a well-deserved rest area after a slightly steep climb.

(5) Retrace your steps a little and continue straight on towards La Tuilerie, which you go around on the right.

(6) At the junction with Chemin du Moulin de Riqui, turn right and follow this road for about 500 metres until you reach a right-angle bend to the left.

(7) At the entrance to the bend, take a small path on the right, immediately after the gravel path. At the next junction, follow the path that descends to the left.

(1) Turn right.

(2) This time, cross the Ruisseau d'en Maux stream and begin the climb. Halfway up the hill, you will see a pretty pond under some palm trees on your left. This is private property, so please respect it. Continue straight up the hill until you reach Route de la Fontaine and follow it to the right until you reach the D57. Turn left, walk along the tennis court and return to the village (S/E).

A short walk that feels like a real change of scenery, despite being so close to neighbouring villages. We didn't find the fountain, but we'll be back. The trail is very well maintained. The final climb should be avoided in rainy weather or after a storm. I recommend it.

A very pleasant walk in the countryside, we only met two people! A fountain, a drinking trough, palm trees – it was very unusual to come across them. The pond is completely dry, which was surprising to discover.

I came back delighted, even though you work your calves in places! The route isn't very busy, but you're not isolated. It's peaceful countryside, rolling hills, greenery and open fields. Thank you.

A pleasant route, not too long. After descending from the village, we did 1-7-6-5-3-2 to avoid the climb in the forest and return to the village via the top (2).
The GPS app is very useful.
Best avoided in rainy weather.

A pleasant little walk, you would never think you were so close to the hustle and bustle of the city. The view from Lavalette is magnificent. As the route is short, it's a shame we can't enjoy it for longer, towards Mons for example: an extension would be welcome. In any case, thank you for suggesting this route and thank you to those who designed and developed it (steps, ramps, benches and chicanes).
Setting off at the same time as a rather noisy group, I did the route in the opposite direction in two hours.
By the way, why Jeannine?
