Description of the walk

Start from the Town Hall square.

(S/E) Head south, leaving the town hall on your right. At the crossroads, take the second road on the right, heading due south towards the church.

(1) At the first junction, turn right and walk past the foot of the church. At the next junction, follow a road to the left to leave the centre of Ladinhac. Turn right onto this small road. You will come out onto the D228.

(2) Follow it to the left until you reach a place called La Vizade.

(3) Then turn right and, at the fork immediately ahead, veer left. After about 200 m, near a hamlet, take the first path on the right. Keep heading north-west. Further on, you’ll come to a small road; follow it as it continues.

(4) Once you reach Le Pouget, continue straight on. After about 200 m, leave the road and take a tree-lined path on the right. Walk for a long stretch northwards, then north-eastwards. You will come out onto a small road; follow it to the right for about fifty metres.

(5) Take a sharp left-hand bend, follow the D28 and pass the Moulin de Labaylie. A little further on, after a small bridge, take the first path on the right. Ignore a turn-off on the left and continue eastwards.

(6) At a T-junction, just before reaching Brounhoux, take a path on the right. Ignore the turn-offs on the right.

(7) After a bend to the right, head downwards towards the Ruisseau de Cances.

(8) Cross the stream via the bridge and head back up the other side. At the end of the track, continue along the tarmac road and walk past Ladinhac cemetery.

(9) At the junction at the corner of the cemetery, turn left. Ignore a dead-end on the left and continue along the small road. You will come out onto a larger road; follow it to the right and you will immediately reach the town hall car park (S/E).
