Park in the car park of the Maison du Bois et du Jouet, 1620 Route des Usines - Moulin de L'Oule, Mazamet.
(S/E) With your back to the Maison du Bois et du Jouet, climb up to the Chemin des Passes trail and follow it to the left. The trail, in the undergrowth, crosses a small tarmac road and then gently climbs up to the Moulin Maurel. Cross the hamlet, then the Arnette and step onto the D54.
(1) Turn left, walk along the river, then past the large Rives industrial building until you reach the bend in the road. Cross the departmental road very carefully to join theGR®7-GR®36, which is opposite, signposted by a wooden sign.
(2) The path climbs steadily, with multiple hairpin bends, to a place called Brettes and leads to the road of the same name.
(3) Turn left. After about 1 km, the tarmac gives way to a wide grassy path at a small clearing. Continue for about 600 m until you find a path climbing to the left.
(4) Take this path lined with broom and various thorny bushes. The path widens slightly as it descends towards the Croix de Prat.
(5) From the cross, the path is narrow and very stony. It descends steeply in places and requires particular care when walking. Continue downhill following the yellow markings and cross the Jamarié. You will reach the road and directional signs. Continue along thePR® trail, the circular Saint-Sauveur. You will soon come to a three-way crossroads.
(6) Climb the path on the right for a round trip to the ruins of Saint-Sauveur.
(7) After exploring the site, retrace your steps to the previous point.
(6) Continue straight ahead. The short climb, made easier by cables, leads to the famous Mazamet footbridge. Thrills guaranteed as you cross it. Climb up to the esplanade of Hautpoul Castle.
(8) Continue to the left of the village. Pass under the south entrance archway of the village and you will almost immediately find a path leading off to the left (signposted Maison du Bois et du Jouet).
(9) Take this path, which leads to the banks of the Arnette.
(10) At the signs, including the one for the Maison du Bois et du Jouet, keep to the right to return to the car park (S/E).
