Country:
District:
Park in the small car park on the right before the bridge when coming from Cascatel-des-Corbières or on the left after the bridge when coming from Albas.
(S/E) The trail starts opposite the car park. Follow the "rando géologue" signs, go around the small lake and join a wider path. Follow it to the right for about 50 metres, then leave it before it returns to the road and take a path on the left.

(1) Leave the access to the main road on your right, pass the dinosaur egg site and continue to the left towards the village.
No markings
(2) When you reach the first houses, turn left for your first panoramic view. Walk along the first vineyard, then turn left onto a small path between two vineyards and turn right to walk along a second vineyard. Enjoy the panoramic view of the other side of the syncline. At the end of this, take three successive turns to find a well-marked path leading to the D106 at the cemetery, where it joins the Geologist's Walk.

(3) Follow the road to the left, passing a wine press on your left.
(4) Leave the road and turn right onto a wide path to begin the first climb.
(5) At the top of this climb, the ruined mill on your right opens its doors to reveal its millstones, which are still in place. Retrace your steps a little to rejoin the wide path below on the right: several outcrops on the ground and on the edges amaze us and teach us about our geological history. Looking up, the panorama opens up before us and on our right, Pech Agut rises up. You will reach a fork marked by a sign saying "Rando du Géologue" (Geologist's Walk).
(6) Turn right to cross a dry stream bed, then begin a new, longer climb leading to the Roucadeu ridge.
(7) Turn left to continue along a small path. Please note that the path opposite goes around Pech Agut and takes you back to the ruins of the mill. After about 150 m, a sign indicates a small path on the right leading to a magnificent panorama with commentary on an orientation table.
(8) Return to the path and continue right until you reach a crossroads at the end of the ridge.
(9) Turn right and begin a rather steep and challenging descent on loose, stony ground: proceed with caution. At the bottom of the descent, the path continues straight ahead. Cross the small wooden bridge and walk along the gardens. Cross the vineyard, then turn right onto the main road and continue for about 50 metres.
(10) Take the path on the left. Quickly turn right to follow the Ruisseau du Prat stream and reach the entrance to Albas.
(11) Turn left onto the road. About thirty metres further on, take a small path on the right which rejoins the road a little further on. Continue on the right and negotiate the left-hand bend.
(12) Leave the road and turn right to find the dinosaur eggs.
(1) Turn left, then keep left at the next junction, following the sign for "retour parking" (return to car park). Return to the main road, follow it to the right for about 20 metres, then turn right to rejoin the path you took at the start. Continue straight ahead and retrace your steps to return to the lake, then to the car park (S/E).
