The starting point offers a chance to discover the magnificent little castle of Belflou.
On the heights of La Ganguise
A magnificent, very easy walk on the hillsides above Lac de la Ganguise with beautiful views of the lake and the Lauragais. In the distance, you can see the Montagne Noire and, on a clear day, the Pyrenees. The paths are wide and well maintained, either grassy or rocky. There are a few roads to cross, but no walking on them.

Les Collines du Vent de Mas-Saintes-Puelles à Fendeille
part2 of the "Les Collines du Vent" route:The exceptional views amply reward the effort of climbing the pechs (hills in Occitan). The Collines du Vent route then takes on its full spectacular dimension: the pechs are swept by winds blowing alternately from the Mediterranean (the autan or marin) and the Atlantic (cers). There are few trees on the hills, which also means that there is little shade in summer, so the sun beats down hard on the hills.
A spectacular and iconic 48.2 km online route in the Lauragais region, the "Collines du Vent" connects Avignonet-Lauragais and Fanjeaux. Numerous windmills are dotted across these first hills of La Piège, taking advantage of the generous winds that blow alternately from the Mediterranean (the Autan or marine wind) and the Atlantic (the Cers). The view stretches far beyond the hills to the Pyrenees and the Montagne Noire. Eleven information panels provide details about the area's heritage.
