In the Vaurais region at the start of Lugan

I understand, given the current state of the paths! To avoid this slippery descent, we once chose to avoid it by taking a detour along the road to the left and down the valley, turning right to rejoin the route: it's a bit longer and adds some tarmac road, but it's safer when conditions are difficult.

I follow these routes while practising dynamic Nordic walking, which I really enjoy. However, I sometimes have to retrace my steps when I've gone too quickly past a fork in the road...

After all the rain in recent months, this route, which mainly follows small roads, offers many advantages. It is clear and offers beautiful views, particularly over a large section of the Pyrenees, which were snow-covered and sunny today – it was very beautiful. The description is excellent.

Thank you for sharing this. The route is lovely in the hills and takes 2 hours and 10 minutes. No difficulty at all.

We took this walk on a Saturday in April when the weather was relatively nice and warm. Following the route on the app, there are absolutely no difficulties whatsoever. I joined the walk from the "Les Cauquillous" SNCF train station (direct trains from Toulouse , 30 minutes away, or Lavaur , 5 minutes away), a 45-minute walk along a very pleasant little road lined with fields where we saw large hares and lots of deer, and then we walked the entire route; no difficulty, lots of small roads but very little traffic in beautiful, rolling countryside; highly recommended for a family walk to discover this beautiful region; I highly recommend it.

Very beautiful panoramas and very pleasant routes to follow. No hesitation about the itinerary at point 5 and perfect description.
Thank you for this wonderful hike.

The panoramic views are superb and make you forget that almost the entire route is on tarmac. The description is perfect: this deserves to be emphasised.

Hello again, Olivier,
This section is private for 1.23 km, i.e. between the two tarmac roads.
As a result, I don't know the "real" route, but as it is marked "Pays d'en haut", there's no chance of getting lost!
Best regards
Jean

Thank you, Jean, for this very pertinent suggestion for a change, which should definitely be implemented. In fact, the first time I "physically" did this hike, which I had mapped out in advance and taken notes to describe and publish, I didn't see this sign and was surprised the second time around with the group of walkers accompanying me when one of them pointed it out to me: At the time, I was unable to offer them an alternative, as I had not checked the passability of the path starting 200 m further on. We went through anyway, which is not recommended: I do not know how long this path is actually private, which is a shame because it has many attractions!
To all hikers who will be using this route, I encourage you to follow Jean's suggestion, and I thank him for his research.

Hello,

I have just recognised this very pleasant walk on the first half of the route with its remarkable views.
The problem arises at point 5 of the description, a place called La Mouline, where there is a sign saying "Private property".
As I was alone, I decided to go ahead anyway, and had no problem getting through. I reached point 6 without any issues.
On the way back, I stopped at the town hall to consult the land registry, which confirmed that this passage is indeed private.
The secretary (whom I warmly thank) gave me a cadastral survey of the site.
In fact, at point 5, you have to turn left, walk 200 metres and turn right to reach the road above and pass point 6 to continue towards the finish. That's an extra 500 metres!
To confirm this, I returned to point 5 by car and saw the sign indicating that you have to turn left, a sign that I had not noticed before.
I hope this helps to clarify the situation.
Best regards
Jean

Note: using the cadastral map provided, I took the opportunity to create a 20 km route, which I have not yet followed.
