Park in the car park at Escaladieu Abbey.
(S/E) On the road, turn left towards the bridge over the Arros and, just before the bridge, take the path branching off to the right. Cross a stream and follow the path opposite which runs alongside the river before heading up into the forest. Continue along this path until you reach a small tarmac road.
(1) Turn left and continue along this small road, which passes through the village of Bonnemazon. At the junction (at an altitude of 330m), turn left onto the road leading down towards the river.
(2) Before the bridge, take the path on the right until you reach a junction with a path that crosses the Arros. Turn left to cross the bridge and follow this tarmac road until you reach a junction with a path leading off to the right. Take the path straight ahead until you reach the ford across the Garravet stream.
(3) A few metres of slightly challenging terrain along the stream before taking the path onto firmer ground. Stay on this steeply sloping path until you reach the road leading to the village of Mauvezin. This path is not shown on the IGN map but is marked on OSM Trails.
(4) Take the road on the right, which climbs up through the village of Mauvezin. At the junction, turn left onto the small road along the ridge leading to Gaston Phébus’s castle and keep.
(5) Leave the castle on your right and, at the end of the track, take the path down to the right, heading due north, until you reach the crossroads. Then take the wide path on your left until the next junction.
(6) Turn left onto the downhill track, which gradually becomes a path winding through the woods. Make sure you stay on the correctPR®® path, as it is not always clearly signposted. Continue along the downhill path until you reach the road on the plain that runs alongside the Arros.
(7) Take the road on the left towards Escaladieu until you reach the junction in the village.
(8) Turn right and continue along the D938 road; take care as you cross the bridge over the Arros, then walk alongside the abbey to the car park (S/E).
