Description of the walk

If arriving via the D803, park in the car park near the town hall, on the left before the church.

(S/E) Head due north, towards the cemetery and the church, along Rue du Bourg. Pass Impasse des Canabals on your left and, immediately afterwards, you’ll reach a junction.

(1) Turn right onto Route de Cuzance. Walk past the school and continue until you reach the chimney of a derelict house.

(2) Turn right onto Chemin du Presbytère. At the junction with Impasse de La Croix du Roc, turn left, heading north-east, and join a road.

(3) At the yellow sign, turn left towards Mas Del Pech. At the fork in the road, turn right and continue to another fork.

(4) At the sign for Mas del Pech Somival, turn left onto the track and follow it for approximately 1.7 km until you reach the D33.

(5) Cross the D33 and continue straight ahead until you reach the edge of the woodland at a crossroads.

(6) Turn left, following the edge of the meadow, then join a road. Follow it to the left for about 700 m.

(7) Turn right onto a grassy path before the houses, and follow the blue and yellow markings until you return.
To do this, cross a road, continue to a junction, turn left and return to the original road junction.

(1) Then turn right and head back to the car park (S/E).
