Park in the car park behind the church.
(S/E) Walk round the church to reach Avenue de Capoul and follow it to the left. Pass the town hall, a tobacconist’s and then the cemetery. The right-hand side of the road is safe.
(1) After passing the sign marking the village exit, take the path on the right which goes under the main road and then follows the edge of a wood, making a first turn to the left.
(2) Turn right, cross the small Mascarades bridge and head right, following the stream upstream before turning left towards the woods. Follow the edge of the woods to the junction. Lovely view over the Toulouse plain.
(3) Turn right onto the path that crosses the woods, following an underground gas pipe. Follow this path to a small gate, just before the junction with a small road.
(4) Continue to the right along the small road which climbs slightly and then passes in front of a riding school. In fine weather, there is a lovely view of the Pyrenees. You will reach a crossroads with a mill visible opposite.
(5) Turn right without going all the way to the mill. Follow the small road as it descends, passing in front of Lartus Castle, then skirting and passing under the main road.
(6) At the sewage treatment plant, take the path on the left which climbs through the woods. At the junction with another path, stay on the left-hand path and you’ll reach a tarmac section.
(7) Turn right onto Chemin du Midi and you’ll reach a playground.
(8) Take the small steps on the left and follow the path that passes above a tennis court. At the road, turn right then continue straight ahead around the bend to reach the town hall directly. Come out onto Avenue de Capoul, turn left then go round the church to reach the starting car park (S/E).
An excellent walk, with a strong southerly wind today. Lovely views of Toulouse. Very few people around.
