An easy walk through fields and woodland. Well signposted in yellow. Three signs reading ‘Entre puits et heaths’ indicate that you are on the right track.

Description of the walk

Access: if you’re coming from the north via Brousses, you’ll need to go through the whole village to reach the car park behind the cemetery. If you’re coming from the west via Montolieu or Aragon, you’ll find the car park before you even enter the village.

(S/E) As you leave the car park, turn immediately left into the street closed to vehicles. Cross the D203 and head up the stony path opposite. Stay on this path, which runs alongside a tarmac road.

(1) Take the path on the right which runs alongside a field before passing through a sparse woodland. The high-voltage power line in front of you serves as a landmark, as you’ll be passing underneath it. Shortly after the power line, turn right at a right angle to join a wider track. Take it to the right.

(2) Take the hairpin bend to the left. At the first junction, turn right at a right angle, then right again at the next junction.

(3) Cross the D148 to join a path through the low-lying woodland opposite. Continue along this path, keeping to the left.

(4) Please note: you’ll be leaving the tarmac road to take a path on the left.

(5) Just before the tarmac road, take the path on the right which runs alongside the road until you reach a track, which you take to the right. Turn slightly right again at the next junction, then turn left at the Fork in the road 200 metres further on.

(6) You’ll emerge from the forest and walk alongside fenced fields on your left. Continue along this wide track and, when it bends to the left, turn right onto a forest path. Follow this path to the village. Take the first tarmac road on the right, then the first on the left, and then the first on the left again. You’ll reach the car park via a long concrete descent (S/E).

Varied landscape. Beautiful flower-filled meadows. Routes that avoid tarmac roads. It’s not possible to park in the village. Please use the car park below the cemetery.

A lovely walk. There wasn’t much shade apart from right at the start and end of the route. Just between 2 and 3, we turned right too early, as there are several paths leading to the D152 at that point. We turned back, which didn’t add too much to the walk...

Hi Nanardu11.
It’s great to see you back on this site, as we’ve never had the chance to meet out on the trails. I’m still out walking, but I’m not creating any new trails as I’ve pretty much covered everything within a 25 km radius of my village. And anyway, new trails always end up overlapping with bits of the old ones...
Enjoy your walks, and maybe I’ll see you one of these days in the woods.

Hello Lippo
We’ve just been hiking along your route today with four friends and we really enjoyed this very picturesque walk.
There wasn’t much of a climb, and there were plenty of shaded sections – just what we needed for a gentle return to walking after a very hot summer that had put our favourite pastime on hold.
Thank you for all your hard work

Hello.
I understand, but that might put a bit of a strain on the server.
Have a nice day

Good evening, lippo
When a hiker downloads a file, the software automatically sends them a message asking them to leave a comment about the walk once they’ve completed it. So in this case, the hiker is replying to the message to say that they haven’t done the walk yet

Hello.
I’d like to understand what the point of this sort of comment is?
Or is this just a mistake?
Thank you, and see you soon.
