Description of the walk

From Carbonne, take the D62 and continue to Longages. Park at Place de la Halle.

(S/E) From the market hall, head south along Rue de la Halle opposite the corner of the Bistro Loco café-restaurant. Cross Rue de l'Hôpital and continue opposite Rue de Pataras. Turn left onto Rue des Gestes, then right onto Rue de la Distillerie. Continue to the end of the street.

(1) Turn right onto Chemin des Communaux. After about 1.4 km, leave route no. 4 on your left and take the right-hand bend to arrive at Chemin de Carbonne.

(2) Cross carefully to the opposite side and slightly to the left onto Chemin de Lafitte. Follow it to its end.

(3) Turn left and continue along this road with caution. Leave the road at Lac de la Linde, go around it on the left and then return to the road (D37h).

(4) Cross carefully and take the path opposite. In the bend, keep left and then left again about 50 metres further on, leaving the private road on your right. Continue along Chemin de la Linde alongside the conifer plantation. Join the D49 at the crossroads at Tucau.

(5) Turn right onto the grassy side road, then right again onto Chemin de Garros, which leads back to the village. Follow the street that extends the track to its terminus.

(6) At the crossroads, take the road uphill on your left. At the roundabout, turn right in front of the town hall, then right again to reach the Oasis roundabout. Turn left towards the market hall and return to the car park (S/E).

The appeal of this short hike lies in discovering the pretty village of Longages, its church, Ste Marie Castle and, above all, the market hall, which is listed as a historic monument.

Hello, everyone.
Today's hike took place in a southerly wind, a lovely walk that allowed us to discover the surrounding countryside. The route was well described and marked in yellow. No view of the Pyrenees today due to fog. Thank you for sharing.

It is flat, peaceful and the route allows you to explore the village and its surroundings. Avoid in strong sunshine (no shade).

You can follow the signposts and yellow markings, which are very reliable, from Longages - a pleasant route through sunflower fields and pine forests. Best avoided in hot weather. A really enjoyable 2-hour walk!

It was a very hot day, so I decided to go for a walk in the woods... except that although the map shows a long path between two woods ("Bois de la Linde" and "Bois de Berdoye"), I was very disappointed to find myself in the blazing sun between a field (apparently the "Bois de Berdoye" has been completely cleared!) and a plantation of conifers offering not the slightest bit of shade!
