No worries, but I use GPS, which alerts me at every intersection... Beautiful views... The route is certainly very passable in rainy weather (which wasn't the case this Friday...) Not much tarmac... and that's a good thing.

Assez boueux avec beaucoup d'herbes hautes. On longe beaucoup les champs et ce n'est pas ce qui a ma préférence. J'ai trouvé le circuit sympa, mais sans plus.

a very pleasant route with great weather and beautiful views of the Pyrenees. Alternating between dirt tracks and woodland paths in a hilly landscape typical of the Gers region. (Orchids and rosebushes galore!)
At point 2: be careful because the dirt track to take on the left was almost invisible and we had to turn back to find it.
The ford was impassable, but a makeshift bridge a few metres away solved the problem.

A very easy route with no major difficulties, suitable for all ages.
Please note that some sections are muddy due to the presence of numerous springs and a small stream on the Marcaoue, which is easily crossable if there is not much water (between points 1 and 2).
A lovely walk with beautiful rolling landscapes typical of the Gers region

A pleasant post-lockdown walk with the children. The rolling landscape of the Gers is very pleasant, with views of the Pyrenees in good weather. As the paths had not been used for over two months, the grass was high, but this should have been cleared by successive hikers. There were a few wet patches after heavy rain in the previous days, but nothing insurmountable.

Shady family walk. Pleasant with children aged 4, 5 and 2.5. Lovely views. Few places to picnic. Best enjoyed over half a day.

Beautiful hike, the GPS route is accurate.
The only minor issue was that the ford had a lot of water in it that day. Looking at the map, it is possible to bypass it via a bridge by staying on the Calvary road a little further to the left towards Bourdette, which I did with only a 1 km detour, then rejoining the original route.

We completed this well-marked trail with ease. As mentioned in the comments, the Calvary is marked by a tree, but if you look for it, you can see it clearly. We took off our shoes to cross the stream (bring something to dry your feet!), and the water was refreshing. It's ideal in hot weather
The rest of the hike is easy and often in the shade. It's nice to be among the wheat fields. We even spotted a deer sleeping in the shade. The sunflower fields must be magnificent when they're in bloom. At the end of June, only a few sunflowers were in bloom.
A pleasant walk, and at the end there are ideal, well-maintained picnic tables.

A hilly route that I am doing for the second time. Shady.
I didn't see the calvary the first time, but today, while searching... I finally saw it. Hidden behind a tree trunk on the left.
The paths are dry despite the rain over the last few days

A very beautiful hike to do with the family, no particular difficulty, even crossing the ford is quite fun, except during high water periods... With sunshine and blue skies, there are beautiful views of the Pyrenees. However, the signage sometimes leaves something to be desired, so it is best to follow the Visorando description carefully, just to be on the safe side. I recommend this hike to all lovers of nature and beautiful landscapes.

A beautiful walk in the Gers countryside. Next to the Marcaoue ford, there are concrete posts that you can use to cross the stream.

A good compromise for a Nordic walking route: suitable distance and elevation gain.

a bit difficult in rainy weather.
if the ford is impassable, you can go around it via La Bourdette
and rejoin the path via a bridge.
(which is what we had to do the day after a storm)
