Description of the walk

Start near the church.

(S/E) Go down Chemin des Écoliers, pass in front of the Pébéraut farm buildings, then turn left after the spring. Continue to the road.

(1) Cross the road and take the path opposite. Cross the Auvignon stream and continue to the Bajonne farm. Go around the buildings and continue to the tarmac road.

(2) Cross the road and take the dirt track opposite to the right-angle bend.

(3) Go down this dirt track and pass behind the Platardon farm. Go around the hill lake and climb through the woods. Continue on this path until you reach the paved road.

(4) Go straight ahead and stay on this path, which cuts through the woods to the tarmac road. Turn right and continue to the three-way junction.

(5) Turn right and continue along this road, taking care, then take the first path on the right about 300 m from the three-way junction. When you reach the hamlet of Garaillon, turn right, cross the hamlet and continue along this road until you reach the junction with the path leading to the Château de Mons.

(6) Turn left onto the tarmac road, which turns into a dirt track at a place called Pouchieu, and turn left. Stay on this track until you reach the vineyards, then turn right and walk alongside the vineyards. At the end of the vineyards, turn left onto the stone track and turn right, leaving Château de Mons on your left. Continue to the Saint-Fort farm.

(7) Turn left to go around the estate. On this section, follow the yellowPR® markings carefully, as the path is not very well marked. Turn right and walk down along the fence of the Saint-Fort estate. At the end of the fence, turn left, continue straight ahead to the stone path and turn right. Continue to the road.

(8) Cross the road and take the path opposite, passing a recent pavilion and taking the dirt track that turns left and runs alongside the Auvignon to the bridge over the stream.

(9) Turn right, cross the Auvignon stream and continue along this path towards Blaziert until you reach the junction with the road leading to the village.

(10) Turn right, continue to the village of Blaziert and return to the car park, taking time to visit the village (S/E).

A varied route alternating between breathtaking scenery, walks through woodland and hamlets. The only drawback is the impressive dogs running free, but they are only guarding the houses; they bark but do not attack.

A very pleasant trail with superb views, especially as the hike can be followed by a visit to the charming village. To be repeated in spring.

A very beautiful hike with a very varied route.
However, there was no information or signposting for the PR between points 2 and 3, which meant we spent 20 minutes searching for the right path. A shame, especially when it's 32 degrees...
