The Buzet Forest

The Buzet Forest is very pleasant and reserved for walking, horse riding and mountain biking.
Very busy at weekends, it is protected from hunters and offers numerous well-marked trails where it is difficult to get lost. We followed the footpath on the way there and the bridle paths on the way back. The biodiversity centre offers a fun stop for young and old alike.

Description of the walk

Follow the signs for Forêt de Buzet and park in the south car park, via the D 32d.

(S/E) Take the footpath, marked with yellow signs, northwards, then, at the pond, go around it on the left and return to the main path. Follow it to the right and, along a completely straight section, you will reach a crossroads.

(1) Turn left and continue until you reach a crossroads with several directions. Continue straight ahead and, via a circular loop on the right, you will reach the Maison de la Biodiversité.

(2) Take the boardwalk, but be careful here: walking sticks are not allowed.

(3) Cross the main path and follow the footpath, still marked in yellow. You will reach the crossroads with the bridle path.

(4) Follow the orange signs opposite and you will come to another crossroads.

(5) Turn right to reach the south car park shortly afterwards (S/E).

Notes

(S/E) Shelter and picnic tables near the south car park.
Avoid walking on mountain bike trails, especially at weekends, as they are quite fast, with steep ascents and descents, and are primarily intended for mountain bikes. It is much quieter during the week.

Worth a visit

(2) Maison de la Biodiversité (Biodiversity Centre):check opening dates and times in advance. You can also enjoy cultural and recreational activities for all, including an outdoor arboretum, library, games, etc.

Very poorly written description: "... then to the pond ..." there is no pond on either the Visorando map or Google Maps!
Fortunately, it was a lovely walk in the forest on a beautiful autumn day.

A beautiful walk in the forest, with lovely early autumn colours (already!). The signs are a little vague, but the network of paths/trails is so dense that it's easy to stay on the right track. For the first three quarters of the route, follow the signs *and* the yellow markings.
