Lafrançaise walks
Bois des Mothes route
A hilly route that runs largely in the shade of the trees. At the highest point, you’ll enjoy a remarkable view over the Tarn plain and pass close to the ruins of a medieval castle. One imagines that the path here is a very old one that must have been used since time immemorial.At the lowest point, you’ll find some cool respite as you pass by a large field of poplars and a reservoir used for irrigating crops.
Paths on the hills of Montastruc
A lovely walk with a few fairly steep slopes, mostly on paths, a few hundred metres on road, with beautiful views over the Tarn valley, Montauban and (occasionally) the Pyrenees. Best done in dry weather.
Malpas Route
Here is a walk to stretch your legs... but that's not all! There are also some beautiful rewards!
At the highest point, there is a beautiful view of the plain and the Tarn, which stretches in graceful meanders between Lizac and Sainte-Livrade. There is also a bird's eye view of two buildings of respectable age. At the lowest point, on the way back, you can enjoy the coolness brought by the Tarn.

Molières Circular Loop
A lovely walk from Lac de Molières (Lac de Boulet) to explore the village and the pretty surrounding countryside.
Moissac - Auvillar
Thirty-fourth stage of the Way of St James. For this recovery stage, you follow the banks of the Tarn, the Garonne and the Golfech Canal for 15 km. After this section, it is almost entirely flat all the way to Espalais. A final short climb will, however, be necessary to reach Auvillar.

The two slopes around Chartron
Route revised on 17/08/2023 to avoid paths that may be blocked by vegetation.
This route runs along both sides of a ridge, partly following the Way of St James. On one side, you’ll enjoy a stunning view of the town of Lauzerte. On the other side, you’ll visit the magnificent Chapel of Saint-Serrnin du Bosc and its old cemetery, situated at the bottom of a wild valley. As you cross from one side to the other, you’ll see a remarkable dovecote opposite the beautiful Chartron residence (a former priory).
Jardin des Plantes and banks of the Tarn in Montauban
One of the few circular walks in Montauban, offering a chance to explore the banks of the Tarn, the lower town and, nearby, the Pont Vieux, the Ingres Museum and the historic town centre.
Lauzerte - Moissac
Thirty-third stage of the Way of St James. The GR®65 is a bit of a rollercoaster ride on this rather long stage. After the first climb, don’t forget to look back and admire the village of Lauzerte in the distance. Pigeon lofts and chapels, as well as vineyards and orchards, follow one after another. You gradually leave the Quercy Blanc behind, heading for the banks of the Tarn and the town of Moissac, which is well worth a visit.

This route allows you to admire the landscapes of the Quercy Blanc from viewpoints over the valleys while walking through a varied environment (hillsides, hamlets, limestone plateaus).
