Please take note of the comments in the description regarding points (5) and (6).

A lovely walk through the forest, sheltered from the wind on days when the Tramontane is strong.

Path of lights and colours: the white of the limestone cliffs, the blood red of the earth, the green of the meadows and trees, the blue of the sky and mountains, the scent of pine trees and the winds that carry our dreams far away as we admire the exceptional panoramas.

This circular route takes you past the foot of the Cathar castle at Puivert after passing through the Labyrinthe Vert, a striking geological formation.

A user reports:the signposting between (13) and (14) no longer exists. At (13), return to theGR®7AandGR®367.I tried to find the old route but the path is blocked by a fence.

The first half of the route follows the Vauban trail.
