Thanks to the route planner for this route. However, if I were to do it again (and this is just my personal opinion, of course), I wouldn’t do the circular route as there are far too many tarmac roads with not much in the way of interesting scenery. The roof of St Michel’s Chapel was being repaired and there was scaffolding up. A shame for me. On the other hand, the whole section along the Laïta is lovely, with plenty of shade. If I were to do it again, I’d just do this section there and back. Enjoy the walk, everyone

Alternating between forest and trails along the Laita. Sometimes the path gets a little lost despite the descriptions.
In any case, the scenery is splendid.

A pleasant route through the woods and along the banks of the Laita,
not much signposting, but with the map and a bit of orientation you'll get there;
too much tarmac in the second part;

Very beautiful route but very poorly marked. At point 7, we continued straight ahead, as you indicated to leave the riverbank, but it was very difficult to find the path leading back up into the forest. Retracing our steps, we finally spotted it and took it on a whim! The yellow markings are practically faded and too far from the path. At point 9, there is no visible path on the left . We reached point 12 by going back through points 6, 5, 4 and 11.
Thank you.

You have to be careful because there are few markers. But with the map, descriptions and a little experience, you can do it.
Except for a problem at point 1 (I should have read the previous comment). The route description needs to be corrected: pine trees have been felled, obscuring the first part of the Moulin path. There is a sign, but nothing opposite it. My suggestion: with your back to the sign, take the ploughed section and at the end of the flat surface, on the left, slightly hidden, the Moulin path descends.
Otherwise, it's a magnificent hike.
Second suggestion: do the hike in the opposite direction, as the second part is much more beautiful than the first.

An excellent hike that has the advantage of providing continuity between the Coatroal circular route and the northern part of the Laïta circular route (circles proposed by the municipality). Thank you, Cathari, for sharing.
The description is rather brief. It would be better to use the route map and/or prepare your hike in advance with the help of an IGN map to locate the turning points rather than relying solely on the description.
A quick note about point 1. The land has since been ploughed, so there is no longer a path opposite the "Chemin du Moulin" sign. Simply follow the direction of the sign to the trees, then go up a little to the left and you will quickly find the path.

Second part of the hike, mainly on roads. Very pleasant walk along the Laïta river.
The point for climbing back up to Piciere is poorly placed and you have to turn about 100 metres before it.

Hello,

Thank you for your comment.

Signage is virtually non-existent

The signage does not depend on Visorando
