Departure from the Saint-Geniez-d'Olt Tourist Office (car park on Place de la Mairie).
(S/E) At the exit of the cloister, turn left onto Rue de l'Hôtel de Ville, cross the Lot River on the Old Bridge. Turn right and take Rue de la Poujade on the left. Pass in front of the Saint-Antoine Chapel.
(1) Take the path that climbs to the left, cross the small road and continue straight ahead on the path. The path runs alongside old vineyards and strawberry fields before entering the undergrowth. It becomes more enclosed. Follow the signs for the Chapelle d'Aurelle.
(2) When you reach a place called Le Batut, near the restored communal oven, turn right to go down the road and join the D503 (Route de Verlac).
(3) Cross it and take the path that descends, just opposite, to soon reach Les Pessoles.
(4) Take the small bridge over the stream and turn right to leave the hamlet. Continue along the road, following the stream in this beautiful valley, until you reach the junction with the D95 (Route de Naves).
(5) Continue straight ahead towards the Saint-Pierre factory. Take the bridge on the right over the Mardonenq and continue along the road to the Chapel of Notre-Dame des Buis.
(6) At the crossroads, turn left and follow the road that runs alongside the Lot to the Pont Vieux. Cross it and you will find yourself at the Place de la Mairie (S/E).
Very good, the uphill climb comes straight away, followed by the downhill. The only slight downside is the end of the route on the road, but we can't complain, as we only encountered three cars. The weather was beautiful this morning, which made the route even better. This route is perfect for getting back into exercise and is really very pleasant.
