Description of the walk

(S/E) From the car park at the town hall on the village square, join the D34 and turn right for 150m, then take the small road on the left.

(1) Leave the return path on your right, continue along the road, then climb straight up towards Pédantin. Continue along the grassy ridge path for 1.5km. (view of Riguepeu and the Osse valley).
The path becomes stony, crosses a wood and arrives at an intersection (panoramic view).

(2) Take the shaded path on the right which descends northwards (view of the La Mouliaque valley and the foothills of the Osse valley). Continue straight ahead, cross two paths and arrive at a fork.

(3) Continue to the right, walk alongside a copse (view of Bazian) and continue along the stony path. Pass Hajaou and continue for 100m.

(4) Take the ridge path on the right along the edge of the fields, then between the hedges.

(5) Descend to the right and cross the Philipert stream. Climb back up the beautiful sunken path lined with oak trees. Leave a path on the left and join a small road. Continue left along the small road to the junction on the way out.

(1) Turn left and follow the D34 to the right. Turn left to return to the car park (S/E).

A pleasant route that is worth repeating when the ground is less soggy. A map is essential for finding your way at the three crossroads, where two PR routes are indicated at each junction.

A pleasant, easy and enjoyable walk. Lovely views to discover and a surprise at the end with this chapel hidden among the trees.

An easy and pleasant hike, it must be even more so in summer, as many of the paths are shaded and cool. In wet weather, as was the case for us, make sure you wear suitable footwear and bring walking sticks. Otherwise, there are beautiful views and pretty houses to admire along the way – the Gers as we love it!
