To reach the starting point of this walk from Montauban, head via the Pont de Chaumes and continue along the Route de Saint-Martial (D8). Then turn left onto the Route du Clos Maury and, at the end, turn right onto the Chemin de Maury-Raffine.
The starting point is at the end of the Chemin de Maury-Raffine, where a map of the surrounding walks is on display.
(S/E) Head towards the forest on the right (south-east) and walk for about 200 metres. Cross a footbridge over a stream. Cross an open area under a power line and continue straight on.
(1) Turn left opposite the houses. The path leads down to a stream. Then turn right and follow the stream. After about 200 metres, you’ll emerge from the woods, cross a road and arrive at the foot of a slope – this is the reservoir.
(2) Head up the road to the left. At the top, in front of a house, turn right. Walk along the lake for about a hundred metres and turn left onto a path that climbs into the woods. You’ll come out into a field; go round it to the left, passing a house and some trees. Head into the small wood and then cross a stream next to a pond.
(3) At the T-junction, turn left and pass under a power line. Follow the path through the woods. You’ll come to a stony path coming from the right; continue straight on, heading downhill. Then turn left, following the path, cross a stream and return to the starting point (S/E).
