(S/E) As you leave the cloister, turn left into Rue de l’Hôtel de Ville and cross the Lot via the Pont Vieux.
(1) Turn left again, walk past the parish church and take Rue de la Rivière.
(2) At the fork, turn right into Rue de Plaisance and, at the next fork, turn right again. At the top, pass two junctions (housing estates) on your right, then turn right. Cross the road leading to Corbières, follow the signs for Plaisance Ouest, and head there.
(3) Take the first path on the right, which winds its way up through the undergrowth. After a wide bend to the right, ignore a path branching off to the left. At the top, as you emerge from the woods, there is a view of Saint-Geniez-d'Olt.
(4) At the hairpin bend, take the road leading up towards Corbières and Aurelle. Note that the road is very quiet and has wide grassy verges. Continue, leaving the roads leading to La Pomarède and Puy-le-Franc, as well as the Aubignac farm, on your left. Carry on straight across the plateau. You will reach a crossroads marked with a cross.
(5) Carry on straight ahead towards Corbières. Arrive there.
(6) Cross the hamlet of Corbières and continue towards Les Escoudats. Before reaching it, at a bend, take a path on the left.
(7) Turn left onto this path, signposted Aurelle. Descend through a wood of beech and chestnut trees. Cross the Mandialou stream via a footbridge and reach the abandoned village of Aurelle. Take the opportunity to visit the village and its chapel.
(8) Return to the crossroads after Corbières via the route taken on the way there.
(5) Turn left onto the road leading to Saint-Martin-de-Montbon.
(9) After the first houses, turn right at a sharp angle and walk past the church. Follow the path which descends steeply to the Barribès stream. Cross the stream and follow the path south-south-west towards the hamlet of Volmanières.
(10) Leave the hamlet, continue south and reach the entrance to the hamlet of Batut.
(11) Turn right and, at the next fork, left. Take the path through the Albin chestnut grove. With Saint-Geniez-d'Olt in sight, walk along the terraces once occupied by vineyards before reaching the Chapel of Saint-Antoine.
