Le Puy Saint-Georges

On the Ségala plateau, in the Tarn, rises Mont du Puy Saint-Georges, dominated by the ruins of the 13th-century Saint-Barthélémy Church. From the summit, a splendid view unfolds before us and, in fine weather, one can see the Pyrenees and admire the sunsets.
This short route is a return walk, with no signposting.

Description of the walk

From the Valence d'Albigeois road (D903), turn off at the hamlet of Le Pesquieyras onto the D69 and park at thefirst junction, at the side of the road (two spaces).

(S/E) With your back to the D69, follow the road to the left and pass in front of the Guillou farm.

(1) Just behind the farm, a sign points to “Puy Saint-Georges”. Follow this grassy path, which climbs steadily, until you reach a Fork in the road.

(2) Ignore the path on the right and continue along the one on the left until you reach a gate.

(3) Open the gate to pass through, close it carefully, and arrive at the site of Puy Saint-Georges, where the ruins of the 13th-century Saint-Barthélémy Church stand.

(4) Enjoy the panoramic view over the Ségala plateaus and even the Pyrenees.
Return along the same route to the car park (S/E).
