We did this route yesterday and, following the storm, the trail after the starting point (about 1 km) requires you to follow the path carefully, as waypoint 1 is impossible to find; you need to continue along the grassy path to find the PR markings.
Also, at point 2, you must turn sharply left to rejoin the PR.
As a mountain hiker, I had to use a map and compass – no problem for me, but a challenge for beginners.
Nevertheless, as I often go for walks in the Gers, Visio Rando is a useful resource.
Best regards

A lovely walk in a light mist, which gave us some beautiful views of the River Adour. We need to do something about those dogs between points 2 and 3.

It was a lovely start to the walk, but unfortunately we were stopped at the old medieval gates by two dogs who were not at all happy about us passing close to their home. Would it be possible to reroute this section?

In the Adour plain, this route is flat and easy, offering a leisurely ride and the chance to discover several places of historical and natural interest

A stroll on a slightly chilly morning, with lovely views along the Adour and around the edge of a small lake; the path is perfectly maintained, making it a short walk ideal for families. It’s not particularly remarkable, but it’s still pleasant if you fancy a walk in the countryside, with no significant elevation gain.

An interesting walk, particularly the section that runs alongside the Adour. Between the start and point 1, you’ll pass the Maison de l’Eau, which provides information about the wetland. The paths had been recently maintained and make for a pleasant walk. It’s best to do this walk early in the morning or late in the afternoon, as the second section through the fields is often in full sun.

Some parts of the route have been overgrown, so we had to take a few detours, but we managed to find our way back on track. It’s a lovely walk, especially on hot days,

Thanks, bechristiane
Just because you found the hike uninteresting doesn’t necessarily mean the description was poor or the map disappointing. Unless you actually had problems with them. Is that the case?

A disappointing and uninteresting walk. We thought we’d be walking alongside the Adour in pleasant surroundings, but with all the undergrowth we couldn’t see much of anything. Luckily we did spot two or three pretty houses. The medieval gate wasn’t very well maintained and the two wash houses weren’t great – nothing like the wash houses in the Lot. All in all, a five-hour round trip and we were really very disappointed.

An easy route through the vineyards. Suitable for everyone – best avoided in summer as there is very little shade.

It’s a shame you can’t give us any details about this fork in the road. Perhaps the author could provide further clarification in their description.

We missed the turn-off to the left leading to Belloc
So we continued along the long circular route marked out by the waterworks
But the second half is less interesting
