Getaway in the Ligoure Forest

Start from the car park, Rue Jean Rebier, in the hamlet of Les Farges.

(S/E) Join the D57 and follow it to the right until you reach Chemin de Bellevue on the left.

(1) Take this path and, at the three-way junction ahead, turn right onto Chemin de Narbonnais and continue to Chemin de Fromental on the right.

(2) Follow this road, skirting a field on your right, then enter the forest and reach a fork.

(3) Turn left and head downhill to the next fork.

(4) Continue left along the nature trail "Petit chemin qui sent la noisette". Walk down to the bottom of the slope.

(5) You may wish to make a round trip to the banks of the Ligoure for a pleasant break. Continue along the nature trail, ignoring the paths branching off to the right or left, until you reach a fish farm.

(6) Turn right, cross a bridge, then take the path that climbs up to the left. Join the route you have already taken.

(4) Turn left and continue to the next junction.

(3) Leave the route you have already taken and continue to the right until you reach the Chalucet footbridge.

(7) Ignore it and take the path on the left along the Ligoure, then quickly along the Briance. Follow this path to a junction at the bottom of the valley.

(8) Take the path that descends to the right and cross the stream. Continue straight on to the plateau at a place called La Grange.

(9) At La Grange, opposite No. 36, take the path climbing to the left: signposted “Sentier pédestre”.

(10) Once you reach Bellevue, continue straight ahead along Chemin de Bellevue and follow it to the D57.

(1) Turn right and join Rue Jean Rebier (S/E).

(7) Chalucet footbridge closed + path immediately after the footbridge on the left (when facing the footbridge at Chalucet) also off-limits – private property –

Just before (8): two short steep climbs and at (8) a slightly ‘challenging’ descent – OK with a walking stick…

Part of the Ligoure Forest Nature Trail.

A lovely countryside walk.

A picnic break at (5): absolutely brilliant!!!
