We made several round trips to find the routes... and we had to improvise several times!
Quite a few paved sections. No technical difficulties.

A very beautiful walk with stunning views of the Garonne, neighbouring villages and, of course, the Pyrenees.
Please note: it is apparently no longer possible to pass between points 4 and 5: there is a large sign saying "Private Property - No Entry" and a large guard dog.
So we turned back to point 2, then continued on to point 7.

Beautiful landscape of the Lauragais, with the Pyrenees in the background. The initial section can be difficult in rainy weather.
At point 3, turn right onto the path marked 'private road'.
Excellent hike for getting back into walking.

A walk taken on a sunny but windy Sunday in March. The exposure of most of the route meant we had to layer up, but luckily we had brought everything we needed. Unfortunately, the sky wasn't clear enough to enjoy the view of the Pyrenees, but it did give us a change of scenery. In my opinion, the route is accessible to everyone. We walk at about 4.5 km/h and took about 2½ hours. Thank you for the guide!

Thank you for your feedback. The text at the end of the route has been adjusted.
I do not understand the comment regarding point 5.

A pleasant walk offering varied landscapes, a good mix of trails and paved paths, beautiful views (but the Pyrenees in backlight at midday are not the best...). Accessible to those whose legs are no longer young but who want to keep fit. One small downside: the directions at the start. It would probably be better to say: return to the road heading west and go down to a dead end marked "chemin des roches" (rock path). Follow it for about 100 to 150 metres and look for a narrow, steep path on the right at a bend. Go to the end of the cul-de-sac, which leads to the road from Noé to Montaut.

Hello
A bit too much tarmac for my liking

It's a very beautiful walk, with some truly stunning views.
The guidebook is excellent, so there's no risk of getting lost.
The estimated duration (3 hours 25 minutes) is a little overestimated compared to the pace usually mentioned in this type of guidebook.
It should be noted that a significant portion of the walk is on roads or tarmac paths.

The route was modified on 1 January 2021 for the first 2 kilometres to avoid the difficulties reported in October 2020.
In winter or after prolonged rainfall, the soggy ground on the paths tends to be slippery due to the clay soil.

Enjoyable route The first section between 1 and 2 can be tricky when the ground is wet, with a very rutted path partially blocked by a pile of branches that we had to climb over. Regular maintenance and signposting would be no luxury. The rest of the route presents no particular difficulties. Beautiful views of the hills and the Pyrenees.

Trail route completed in very gloomy weather. The first part is slippery, which is normal given the rain that has fallen in recent days. No entry signs on the steep path that descends at the start of the route at point number 1, poorly marked path and arrival at a field with mown grass, feeling of being on private property? . I followed the GPX track, which is almost perfect except at the end, where it passes through the middle of a lodge, which is easy to get around.
To be done again in good weather, with lovely views of the hills and the Pyrenees. A peaceful and uncrowded place.

No markings on this route, but why not! With a good description, it should be fine!!!
Moderate difficulty. A few small bumps (elevation changes).
From the shaded car park, the landscape is nice if the weather is good.
The first part (1) is difficult to find and follow (something to work on for the future?). Tricky after rain and quite a few "pitfalls". Follow the advice given in the practical information.
Once you reach the Garonne, it's an easy walk and, in my opinion, the most enjoyable part.
Then, following the description, hike between hills and valleys, more or less in the shade.
We didn't meet anyone. Not very interesting except for enjoying the peace and quiet.
