Great circular completed on my own after a really heavy day of rain: very doable 👌
Magnificent autumn colours and really pleasant trails and woodland.
The only downside = between 4 and 7, definitely not to be done in strong sunshine as there is no shade and it is a tarmac road.
A short section on the Grisolles road isn't great, but it's very short, so it's fine!
All in all, a lovely walk!

A pleasant route through vineyards and woods, with few people. Two iconic châteaux.
The return journey is more pleasant and shaded by the Avenue de Grisolles, then take the dirt track on the right, "Chemin de Las Fauvies", Avenue J Bouin.

The walk is pleasant, but nothing more. It mainly follows small roads, which is interesting after periods of rain. However, the short stretch through the woods is welcome...!
Some walkers we met advised us to continue on to Fabas, a more pleasant wooded route, and to take a longer walk.
Thank you for this itinerary.

Short hike, good for starting out with two teenagers aged 12 and 13...
Completed in 2 hours at a fairly brisk pace.
We just cut out the section between 3 and 4 because we followed the yellow markings.

This route along paths and roads is ideal for a gloomy afternoon after a few days of rain...

Hello,
we chose this route and followed it to point 2; from there, we followed the markers for the other route, "From vineyards to forests in the Frontonnais", as the yellow markings were clearly visible. We realised our mistake when we arrived in Fabas, but as we also had the map for the second route, we decided to continue...The weather was fine and the route is really pleasant. We walked 4.5 km more than originally planned.
You should include more road names in the guidebook "South of Fronton via the Larensou road" (as well as in the other one) because, due to the scattered nature of the settlements, we noticed that there were road name signs.
We never felt lost thanks to the markers and the beautiful photos of winegrowers. The only drawback was at the end: we didn't arrive at our starting point at the market square, but at the school car park instead. A kind soul from Fronton offered to drive us there, which we really appreciated!

Hello,
There is an error in the route between 2 and 3 on the map.
If you follow the description, the red route on the map is incorrect.
The description could also be completed by indicating that from 4, you should take the "Peyrounet" path.
Between 7 and 9, there are no geographical landmarks.
I suggest that from 5 onwards, you continue along Avenue de Grisolles and enter Fronton for a few metres, then take the dirt track on the right, "Chemin de LAS FAUVIES", then at the end, turn right onto Avenue J Bouin, go to the end and turn left to return to the car park at the start.
