(1) Turn right and follow Chemin des Crêtes. Initially tarmac, it continues as a wide track, part ofthe GRP® from Cordes-Penne-Coustous.
(2) Shortly afterwards, take a path on the right (marked by a cairn) for a round trip to a tumulus (ancient burial mound).
(3) Retrace your steps on the GRP® and follow it to the right to continue along the ridges with beautiful views. You will reach Pas de la Clède. Turn left, walk 200 metres and you will come to another crossroads.
(4) Leave the GRP® here and continue straight ahead towards La Peyrière (inter-municipal path: this is part of the Grésinhola). Ignore two paths on the right and continue to La Peyrière.
(5) At the bottom of the hamlet, cross the small road and turn left onto a small path that descends. At the end, cross a small road, then shortly afterwards, turn right and then left. Cross the Ruisseau de Laussière stream. You will come to a junction with a wide path.
(6) Continue straight ahead to reach a small road. Cross and continue straight on the steep path which soon leads to a road at a cross. Follow this road to the left to reach Saint-Michel-de-Vax.
(7) At the village exit, turn left onto the first small road, walk along the courtyard and outbuildings of the old castle and take a small path on the left for a short detour to see a spring (pleasant in summer for cooling off, but the water is not drinkable).
(8) After returning to the tarmac, turn left then right onto a path at Camp Mourtiés, then left again onto a track. At the next crossroads, at an elevation of 339 metres, continue straight ahead, keeping to the left on the small path that descends to the D91. Follow the departmental road to the left for a few metres.
(9) Turn left onto a narrow path. At the next crossroads, continue straight ahead until you reach the Peyralade road. Follow this road to the left, passing a cross and a rock with the inscription "Moulins de Laussière".
(10) Turn left onto the faint path that runs alongside the fields. Continue straight ahead until you reach a path on the left that winds down to the Ruisseau de Laussière stream.
(11) Turn right and walk back up along the stream, passing several mill ruins along the way, until you reach the Peyralade road again. Follow this road to the left for about 150 metres. Ignore the first path on the left.
(12) Turn left onto the second small path, which will take you behind the Les Vignals house. Return to the first point of the circular route.
