Red and yellow markings
(3) Return to theGRP®® and its markings. Continue along the Viaur, with a view of the Le Gourpassou campsite on the opposite bank. Walk past the bridge without crossing it. Carefully make your way along the D53 and walk past La Vicasse. At the Y-junction, leave the road briefly before rejoining it very quickly. Once back on the road, turn left and, after 150 metres, find a path on the right.
(4) Turn onto this “unmarked” path and climb up to the junction with the GRP®®.
(5) Follow theGRP®® for about 400 m and leave it for good by taking a path branching off to the right.
Unmarked section
(6) At the top of the hill, turn left. The path runs between two rows of trees as far as La Pégarié. Follow the road and enter the hamlet.
(7) At the inverted Y-junction, a wayside cross with a figure of Christ whose right arm is broken indicates a change of direction. Turn right. Stay on the road until you reach a five-way junction.
(8) Take the stony, earthen track on the right. Head north. The track splits in two at the 350-metre mark.
(9) Continue left, heading west, until you reach a road.
(10) Turn left towards Combecave, without going there.
(11) Turn sharply onto the path on the right, just before the hamlet. Follow this path, which climbs up to the village of Lagarde-Viaur and its church (S/E).
