Description of the walk

Park on Place de l'Église.

(S/E) With the church on your right, head towards the school (south) then go down the street on the left. Turn right onto Rue du 19 Mars 1962 then left onto Rue du Bas du Bourg.

(1) When you reach the D44, cross it carefully (no pedestrian crossing) and continue on the road opposite.

(2) Just after crossing a stream, take a path on the left. Pass in front of the sewage treatment plant and continue to the hamlet of Martignac. Pass through the hamlet by turning right.

(3) At the end of the hamlet, take a path on the left that is not fully marked on the map. Cross a stream and continue left on the path to the hamlet of La Queyrie.

(4) Continue left on the road. At the junction with the D70, follow the road to the left to La Combe.

(5) At the crossroads, turn right onto the path.

(6) At the crossroads, turn left at a 90° angle towards the hamlet of Fage.

(7) Take the path on the left after the houses. A little further on, go around a group of houses via a path on the right that is not marked on the map, then continue straight ahead on the road.

(8) Cross the D44 with caution. In the hamlet of Verlhac Haut, continue along the path on the left and head towards Sicard.

(9) Take the road on the left, cross the stream and go uphill.

(10) At the crossroads, turn left before reaching the D44. Turn onto the path on the left and climb up to the cemetery. Continue straight ahead on the D25, then turn left into Rue du Presbytère and climb up to the church (S/E).

The first three quarters of the route are very pleasant as they are exclusively on paths, but the last quarter, which is on roads, is a bit tedious. Nevertheless, I recommend it to all hikers.

A very pleasant route that makes use of numerous small sunken paths in the shade and crosses three small streams. Enjoyable and not very busy.

A very beautiful hike along many pleasant paths. The last few kilometres on the road are a bit long! Be careful at point 6, as the left turn is not signposted. Do not go all the way to the village of Fage.

Elevation gain = 342m according to my GPS watch, which is 100m more than indicated. When you're jogging the route, that counts!

Beautiful hike, but be careful in rainy weather as you have to ford three streams.
