Park in the car park in Larroque, below the town hall and near the Vère river.
(S/E) From the car park, climb the steps opposite the restaurant to reach the road. Cross the road carefully and turn left. Climb the steps on the right. At the top of the steps, turn left and walk a few metres, then take a sharp right turn. At the crossroads, continue straight ahead for 80 metres.
(1) Go up this dirt track on the left (not very visible). Almost at the top of the hill, turn slightly left for a view of the valley and the village. Finish the climb, cross the municipal road and continue straight ahead. Keep heading north-northeast and ignore the paths that branch off to the right and left.
(2) At this crossroads of four paths, near La Trapasse, turn right and follow theGR®46to reach Mespel.
(3) At this junction with the road, turn left towards the Chapel of Notre-Dame des Bois.
(4) Walk along the cemetery, leaving it behind you on your left. At the Route Forestière des Verreries, turn right.
(5) At the clearing, take the wide dirt track that climbs up to the left and heads north. When you reach the flat section of the forest road, turn right. After about 200 m, look for a path on the left, beyond a ditch.
(6) Jump over the ditch and climb up the path. Go back and forth to see the marker (Montoulieu) marking the highest point of the Grésigne. Large trees with remarkable trunks rise around this geodetic point.
(7) Highest point of the Grésigne. After observing, return to the previous crossroads.
(6) Take the track on the left. A few dozen metres further on, there is a picnic table with a beautiful view of Puycelsi. The track winds gently downhill. Keep an eye out for a downhill track on the right.
(8) Take the hairpin bend on the right-hand path to reach the Rond-Point de la Plégade.
(9) At La Plégade, turn right onto the white forest road, continue for 400 m, then leave it and take the path that descends to the left, marked with yellow signs, Sentier du Patrimoine. Keep heading south. Descend to the Ruisseau d'Audoulou and cross it at the ford.
(10) Make a detour of a few dozen metres to visit a fountain and continue south-west, then south.
(11) An orange marker indicates a spring. Turn right. The Ruines de la Vène are a few steps from the crossroads, higher up. Follow the Sentier du Patrimoine signs, which will take you across the Ruisseau d'Audoulou three times via wooden footbridges. Follow the stream, passing by the waterfall of the same name.
(12) At the junction with theGR®46, turn left to head back up towards Puycelsi. In the village, you can either cross it and visit it (option shown on the map) or continue on the Chemin des Promenades towards the southern tip of the village.
(13) Cross Avenue Raymond VII (D8A) with caution and take the path that descends to the old tennis court, which is now disused and dismantled. Go around it and continue on the path opposite, marked on a post. Continue downhill, winding your way to the D964.
(14) At the road, cross the bridge on the right, then turn immediately right onto the dirt track. The climb is gradual and continues until you come to a sign for Sentier du Patrimoine on the right. Follow it and, after a wide loop to the left, you will come to a clearing with an old picnic table on your left.
(15) A small faded sign indicating the direction of Larroque is nailed to the tree behind the table. Follow the sign, pass the table and take the grassy path.
Keep left at all times, ignoring the other paths. Larroque is visible on the left. At the end, the dirt path gives way to a wide white gravel track that joins the first crossroads at the start.
(1) Retrace your steps to return to the car park (S/E).
). A few gunshots from hunters though!
