Description of the walk

Park in the small car park opposite the war memorial and Notre-Dame de Lussolle church, where you will find a sign describing the route.

(S/E) Return to the departmental road and turn right. After about 100 metres, admire a beautiful Landes-style house with its airial and traditional oven. Continue along the very quiet road, passing a first forest path on your left, then the bridge over the Bourden. About 200 metres further on, leave a second path on your left and continue for about 100 metres.

(1) Turn left towards "Sources de Montcaut". Follow the path, cross a track, then leave a path on your left to reach a crossroads about 200 metres further on.

(2) Leave the return path opposite and turn left, continuing straight ahead, ignoring the paths on the left and right until you reach a crossroads in a right-hand bend on the path leading to the springs.

(3) Continue right, heading west on the path. You will come to a small chapel and shortly afterwards the three springs of Moncaut: Saint-Georges for rheumatism, Saint-Eutrope for headaches and Saint-Antoine for toothache and stomach ache.

(4) Continue the circuit by going straight ahead until you reach a crossroads.

(5) Take the path on the right. Cross a path and continue straight ahead to join the Route Forestière de Moncaut.

(6) Turn right again. Continue straight ahead and return to the crossroads you came to on the way out.

(2) Opposite, take the same route in reverse to return to the car park (S/E).
