Al Tuc circuit from Bélaye

Parking is available in the car park below the church.

(S/E) From the car park at the bottom of the church, turn right onto Chemin du Barry (D50) towards La Tuque. Continue along the road for 1 km, passing three roads on your right.

(1) Before the Marty farm, turn right onto the grassy path. Cross the stream and at the road (Les Ons hamlet), turn left and continue for about 200 m.

(2) At the fork, turn right onto a wide dirt road that runs through the vineyards. Continue to the bottom of the valley, cross the stream, then go back up to a road and continue left to the intersection (Malbouyssou).

(3) Then take the path on the right and continue straight ahead, heading north-west, for 2 km through the woods until you reach the village of Grézels.

(4) Cross the small bridge towards the church. Take a few steps to the right between two houses and pass to the right of the church. Follow the sloping lane behind the church. The road becomes a path and leads to vineyards. At the electricity transformer, take the grassy path on the left that leads to the Château de La Coste.

(5) Go around the château on the right, then take the forest path on the right. At the crossroads, turn right and follow the path for 600 m, passing in front of the Ferme d'Al Tuc.

(6) Continue along Chemin d'Al Tuc, straight ahead on the crest of the hill. Pass a small wayside cross and continue straight ahead. You will reach a grassy path, then a road that passes near the cemetery. Return to the village (view of the Lot valley). (S/E)
