Description of the walk

Lagraulière Town Hall car park.

(S/E) Take the D34 towards Seilhac, then after about a hundred metres, turn right onto Chemin de la Bugue Basse. At the first junction, turn right. Continue straight on towards the east along the main path and then along the road until you reach the entrance to Bellefond Castle.

(1) In front of the entrance to Bellefond Castle, take the path on the left. At the first junction, take the path that descends to the right into the Bois de Bellefond. Pass a water point on your left and join the road. Follow the road to the left towards Mazeix; after a fork to the right, cross the hamlet and continue to the place known as “Le Moulin du Mazel”.

(2) Opposite the pond, take the path that runs alongside the stream. Join the road and take it to the right. The markings are faded on this section of the route.

(3) When you reach a pond, follow the road that climbs to the right at the crossroads, towards “La Montagne”. The road takes a sharp left-hand bend. At the crossroads at the entrance to the hamlet, turn left.

(4) On leaving the hamlet of La Montagne, cross the main road and take the path directly opposite. At the first fork, follow the path on the left.

(5) At the second fork, take the path on the right. Continue to the road and follow it to the right. Pass the ponds on your left, then at the fork, take the road on the right and pass in front of the stadium. You will arrive at the junction with the D167 after the swimming pool.

(6) Turn left onto the road leading up to Lagraulière and continue to the church, which is visible from a distance (S/E).

It was a lovely walk, but there are other walks that are much better.
Thanks to the description and the map, we were able to work out which path to take and eventually realised we were following the white markings (normally yellow). Towards the end of the walk, the white markings disappeared and we got lost because we misread the description. At one point, we saw several colours of markings, but no white until we’d walked a few metres along the road.
Towards the end, in a wood at the top of the hill, the tracks were deep and full of water, which made the path difficult, but the dogs enjoyed it.
