Description of the walk

(S/E) Start at Bouillac Town Hall. Take the road to the left of the town hall and descend the winding road. Cross the Ruisseau de Nadesse and arrive at a junction.

(1) Turn right, then immediately left, and follow the road uphill to another junction.

(2) Continue straight on, passing along the edge of the field to the left of the house, to reach the Bois des Arquiès and follow the edge of the woodland straight ahead.

(3) Enter the woods and come out a few hundred metres further on, then take the path that follows the edge of the woods to an antenna.

(4) Turn left and join a road, continuing along it to the right for about 600 m.

(5) Turn onto the grassy path on the right, cross the woods, then continue along the path to cross a stream and reach a tarmac road.

(6) Continue along the road to the right and, at a place called Le Plassa, turn left onto the path leading to a place called Liarolles.

(7) Pass to the left of the house and continue along the path to the woods. Take the path furthest to the left as you enter the woods. It crosses through the woods and emerges into a field.

(8) Follow the edge of the field to the left until you reach a road.

(9) Turn left onto it and, after about 50 metres, take the path (sometimes barely visible) on the right between two cultivated fields. Walk down to the stream, then enter the woods and follow the path leading to the left until you reach a road at Micouleau.

(10) Turn right and walk gently uphill for about 300 m until you find a grassy path on the left which, after running alongside the woods, enters and crosses them. You will reach a stream

(11) Cross it and enter the woods again to the left, climbing up to join the road at Croc.

(12) Head left and join a main road, Route de Comberouger.

(13) Turn right and, at the three-way junction, take the left-hand road. Pass the small lake and continue for about 150 m.

(14) Take the grassy path on the left, which curves slightly to the left, and enter the woods for a steep climb straight ahead.

(15) 50 m before the road, continue along the path on the right through the woods and, at the exit, follow the edge of the woods to rejoin the road and follow it straight on to the crossroads.

(16) Turn right and, after about 100 m, turn onto the grassy path on the left. Cross the woods straight ahead, emerge at the hamlet of Nouyès and continue straight on until you reach the crossroads.

(17) Take the road to the left, then, after about 650m, past the path leading to the hamlet of Malegate, turn onto the path on the right after the small wood. Cross the Ruisseau de Nadesse and continue up the path, then turn left at the buildings. Follow the path through the woods to the D55 road.

(18) Follow the D55 to the left (caution: heavy traffic) to Bouillac and return to your starting point at Bouillac Town Hall (S/E).

A route through the countryside, with a few quiet roads, otherwise no particular difficulties, and a lovely little village. We had to cross a ploughed field

A beautiful, hilly hike with no major difficulties, featuring a few paved sections but mostly through woodland. All this not too far from Toulouse. To be followed with GPS

A lovely walk in the countryside through the hills, with a few narrow roads but no traffic; and the woodland is very pleasant. The path isn't signposted, so follow the GPS

It’s a lovely, very pleasant walk.
What makes it special is the series of gentle ups and downs along the route, which give it its charm. It alternates between woodland and a patchwork of fields, and you’ll cross a few streams along the way.
It presents no difficulty and you will probably complete it in less time than indicated.
Birdsong will accompany you as you walk through the woods, and the butterflies, which are very numerous at this time of year, will flutter around and alongside you on the grassy paths.
One slight downside: the tarmac section at the start seemed a bit long to us
Bouillac and its surroundings are places well worth exploring. This walk will allow you to do just that
Use only the map and route description during the hike
