The Lords’ Path in Antin

A lovely route along forest paths through the village of Lubret-Saint-Luc to discover a beautiful manor house at a place called Le Castets, as well as a superb mosaic fresco on the façade of a house. The starting point is at Antin church. A well-shaded route.

Description of the walk

Parking: cemetery, church.

(S/E) With the church on your left, head due south along the Chemin de Lasserre until you reach the three-way junction (elevation 361).

(1) Turn right, at the next junction turn left and continue along this forest track, straight ahead on a gentle incline. After a right-hand bend, ignore the side tracks branching off to the left and right. The forest track begins to descend, making a first hairpin bend followed by a second, steeper one.

(2) At this second hairpin bend, ignore the side track heading off to the left and take the third hairpin bend, still descending. Continue to the next junction at Ruisseau Roumegas.

(3) Turn left and continue along this forest track uphill, passing a first then a second hairpin bend, and stay on this track as it climbs and then descends until you reach the edge of the forest. Continue to the junction with the Route des Pyrénées at a place called Las Merladettes.

(4) Turn left, heading due north, and carry on straight ahead, passing a junction, then turn right onto the Chemin du Castets. Pass in front of the manor house and continue to the junction with the Route des Pyrénées.

(5) Turn left, pass the Lubret-St-Luc town hall and take the first road on the left, the uphill Chemin de Larriou. Pass the last house before the forest and continue uphill on this tarmac road until you reach the junction with a forest track on the left.

(6) Turn left onto this track and, at the first crossroads, turn right, heading due west, and continue to the three-way junction.

(7) Carry straight on, ignoring the path branching off to the left, then ignore another path branching off to the right and continue to the next crossroads.

(8) Turn right, follow this path to the edge of the forest and continue to the crossroads you passed on the way there.

(1) Head straight on along the opposite route to the one taken on the way there until you reach Antin Church (S/E).

A peaceful hike almost entirely on forest paths through the woods, which were not slippery at all after the rain.
No difficulty following the route
We had a surprise: two dogs from the village apartment followed us and accompanied us throughout the hike, forcing us to cross the fields to avoid taking the road, which was quite a funny situation.
A walk to remember when the weather is hot and sunny, but best avoided in the heat of the day.

This route is the "Chemin des Seigneurs", which starts in Lubret-Saint Luc. Marked in yellow throughout, it follows wide, well-trodden tracks that are pleasant and present no major difficulties; they are so well-shaded that you can walk them even in the hottest sunshine.
