Park in the cemetery car park, next to the dovecote at the top of Ramonville.
(S/E) Head to the far end of the car park, facing south, where a trail starts between the hedges, continuing on from the car park. Follow this Chemin de Madame, which turns left, ignoring the trail that starts on the right. The trail leads to a small road, the Chemin de Saint-Jean, which you follow straight ahead.
The road turns right (there is a beautiful residence on the left-hand side, the Château de Merli). Then leave the road, which turns left, and follow Chemin de Bourgoy, descending to the right, south-west. After passing the small climb, before the relay antenna, take the wide path on the left.
It quickly turns left, ignore the path on the right, then 90° to the right, ignore the path continuing straight ahead. Pass the hamlet of Bourlès and under the power line. This wide path leads to a dead end, which is also a crossroads.
(1) At this point, you will rejoin theGR® 653, which you will follow by taking the wide path on the right. Follow this main path until you reach the next cul-de-sac.
Continue straight ahead along the tarmac path (lou Cami del Pendut). This ends at a crossroads. Follow the road (des Pyrénées) to the left for 100 m, then turn right between the houses onto Chemin des Femmes. A little further on, it becomes tarmac. Continue straight ahead.
It ends at a crossroads. Follow the small road (Chemin Lakanal) to the right for 300 m, then take the wide path on the left. This descends and arrives at a three-way junction. Continue on the path descending to the left, which is the official route (the wide path on the right rejoins the circuit a little further on). It arrives at a crossroads at the bottom, under the power line.
(2) Take the path on the right (towards Pechbusque on the Sicoval signpost). Follow this path straight ahead, ignoring the various paths on both sides. It climbs back up to the centre of the small village of Pechbusque (at the foot of the church tower). Turn left onto Grand Rue de la Mairie until you reach the D4.
(3) At this crossroads, cross the D4 and take the path downhill on the right (Chemin de Rouzede). Follow this path straight ahead. It plunges into the woods until it comes out onto a small road (Chemin de Pechbusque), which you cross to climb up the steep path straight ahead. The path turns right and goes around the top of the Bee Museum before descending along Chemin de Pechbusque.
(4) It ends at a private road, which you follow in a hairpin bend to the left for a few metres uphill. At the entrance to the property, a (botanical) path starts again on the left-hand side of the gate. Take this path rather than the wide track running parallel to it, slightly below. The latter is used by mountain bikers who can descend quickly.
(5) 600 metres further on, leave the path and follow the steps up to the right, which lead to a housing estate. Follow the footpath that crosses two small streets. At the bottom of the stairs, at the intersection with another footpath, follow this to the right. It crosses a street and continues straight ahead. At the next intersection with a stony path, continue straight ahead on a path for 150 m, then leave it to continue on the path descending to the left, along the edge of the hedge.
(6) It branches off to the left and leads to a dead-end street, which you immediately leave by turning right to follow a path along the houses, below a deep ditch. The path leads to a road, which you follow to the left. Leave Avenue de Suisse and go up to the right along the cemetery towards the starting point (S/E).
