From Carbonne, take the D627 towards Rieux-Volvestre. Drive through the village and head towards Montesquieu-Volvestre. Park at Place de la Halle.
(S/E) Opposite the Maison France Service, turn right towards Rue de la Porte Sensac. Pass one of the oldest houses in the bastide. Continue straight ahead and cross Route de l'Esplanade Nord, the old town moat. Go straight ahead, then turn right at the fork onto Côte du Castéra. At the bend, take the dirt track straight ahead. At the end of the dirt track, go up the road on the left for about 50 metres to reach Chemin des Hourquets.
(1) Turn right and join the D40. Follow it carefully, keeping in the same direction until you reach the first crossroads.
(2) Turn right, following the sign for "table d'orientation" (orientation table). Immediately after, turn right again to reach the orientation table created by the artist Toustain with the children of the commune. Once you have retraced your steps, take the path on the right that descends until you reach the road. Cross carefully and continue along the tarmac path. Before it ends, turn right onto a dirt track that descends and joins the departmental road.
(3) Turn right onto the D40 with caution, then turn left onto the tarmac path known as Sainte-Rame below the D40: Persian tulips bloom here in spring. Cross the stream and immediately turn left onto a dirt track. After about 50 metres, turn right onto the track that climbs uphill and continue until you reach a tarmac road at a place called Mesuret.
(4) Turn right and go down the road until you see a small path on the left that leads to a wooden staircase. Follow it and leave the small spring that supplied the surrounding farms on your left. Continue along this path to the top of the hill, then turn right to return to the town while admiring the Pyrenees. Continue until you reach the D40b.
(5) First turn right then left to follow Allée du Couloumé. Cross the roundabout and take the path opposite between the houses. You will reach Parc du Couloumé, which has a children's playground, a fitness trail, picnic tables, fishing and toilets.
(6) Head up to the right towards the town centre along the Arize. Climb the stairs to reach the Quai du Midi and follow it to the left until you reach the nearby crossroads. Turn right towards the town hall and continue along Rue Mages until you reach the market square (S/E).
