Description of the walk

(S/E) Start in front of the town hall in Fourcès. Cross the Place Ronde. Cross the bridge (castle on the right) and you will arrive at a crossroads.

(1) Take the D29 on the right, towards Montréal, for 300 metres, then climb up to the left along the grassy path beside the pine trees. Continue along the white path on the left, pass the water tower (panoramic view of Fourcès and the surrounding countryside) and continue along the edge of the vineyard.

(2) At the end of the lane, take the path on the left. Continue straight ahead along the edge of the woods, then enter the woods. Follow the road on the right to Lapisse.

(3) Leave thePR®4opposite and take the grassy path on the left. It runs alongside the vineyard and through a wood. Take the road on the left, then the D114 on the right for 150 metres.

(4) Turn left towards Boulin. At the fork, take the white path on the left for 300 metres.

(5) Turn left onto the grassy path (cork oak on the right), cross the stream lined with poplars and continue straight ahead. Continue along the stony path and cross the hamlet of Laspeyres (calvary, Sainte-Quitterie Church).

(6) Take the road on the right for 1 km and pass Romboeuf (former Templar house). At the crossroads, follow the road on the left.

(7) At Bajolle (bed and breakfast), go down the road on the left (Way of St James from Vézelay, view of Fourcès). This brings you back to the crossroads (1) and then opposite the town hall (S/E).

Thank you for all this information

Very pleasant route. Muddy, but there had been storms the day before. The church of Saint Quitterie is worth a detour.

A very beautiful hike completed on 29/05/2025. Paths maintained during this season of tall grass (the only downside is when you leave the D29 onto the grassy path, there are two tricky sections due to two piles of sticky earth, which practically block the path). Beautiful views of Fourcès and the Pyrenees, vineyards, pleasant trail. Perhaps a little too much tarmac at the end!
Take the time to explore Fourcès, a magnificent square with arcades.

it's a very pleasant route, clean and well maintained.
It is also well signposted, which is fortunate because the Visorando app did not work, neither for the route taken nor the distance covered. I do not think I will be renewing my subscription.
If you do this hike on a Sunday during the summer season, you'll find the village square bustling with people, entertainment and music when you return. Otherwise, it's best to do it during the week...

This pleasant and easy hike takes you to La Chapelle Sainte Quitterie, which has been undergoing restoration for several years thanks to the hard work of a local volunteer association. There is a lovely view of Fourcès from the water tower, the highest point of the route. If you wish, Fourcès is a nice place to stop for a bite to eat after your hike.

A pleasant and enjoyable hike along the trails – very muddy on this February day – of the Armagnac region
A wonderful discovery of Fourcès and its circular arcades, vineyards and surrounding landscapes
No difficulty
Of note along the way: a very large cork oak that could claim the title of remarkable tree!
and the pre-Romanesque church of St Quitterie
The return journey is along a quiet little road
The route was a little short for us

A very pleasant walk, especially at the end where you can stop for refreshments in the village of Fourcés, which is an added bonus.
The terrain is safe and accessible to all.
Highly recommended

A very good hike, or rather walk given its ease, with varied scenery and the few sections on roads not causing any inconvenience. Perhaps it should be added that the yellow markings are clear and effective? I also agree that Fourcès itself is quite exceptional.

good hike, clear weather views over the valley; Fourcès is an interesting historical place to visit.

I completely agree. Start from the centre of the village, or better yet, finish in the centre of the village, so you can quench your thirst at the café on the square

Too much tarmac, what a shame.
Best regards.

We are in Lot-et-Garonne, in the south-western part of the department, where unfortunately there are few hiking trails.
