A very pleasant route with lovely views. From point 1 to point 2, you follow a cycle path flanked by a grassy verge and lined with trees; you don’t feel as though you’re in an urban area.
On the day of our walk, the paths had been mown, except from point 6 onwards. So we took a shortcut by turning right onto the path that runs along the edge of the woods (near the D202, make a slight detour to the left to find the culvert that allows you to cross the ditch).

A lovely route for a walk around LOMBEZ. A short warm-up on the pavement between the start and point 2. The path begins at point 2 and is well signposted and very easy to follow between points 3 and 5;
On the day we walked it, the grass was VERY TALL from point 5 onwards and the path was muddy in several sections of the route.
A very pleasant trail, accessible to all. Well signposted. We even spotted a young roe deer
It just needs a bit of a mow to make this route 100% brilliant!

Hello everyone.
We went for a walk today in fine weather, following a spell of rain. A lovely route with beautiful views of the Pyrenees and the surrounding hillsides. However, the grassy paths are not maintained, and what’s more, a large section of them has been churned up by tractors, so they’re very muddy. I think this walk must be more enjoyable in dry weather. A quick visit to Lombez is a must: (cathedral, market hall, half-timbered houses, etc.)
