Hello,

Thank you for this lovely route with such varied scenery!

However, between points 1 and 2 on the route, it is not possible to walk along the lakeside as the area is marshy and private; you simply need to walk along the road between ‘La Motte’ and ‘Pors Lostic’ to reach point 2.
Regarding point 4, there is no access to the prehistoric camp as the path is currently closed for works, but a pedestrian diversion follows your route almost exactly between points 4 and 5.
Your route is very precise because, for point 7, you’d expect a path, but it’s simply along a field that continues through the undergrowth to return to point 2
