Moissac - Auvillar
Thirty-fourth stage of the Way of St James. For this recovery stage, you follow the banks of the Tarn, the Garonne and the Golfech Canal for 15 km. After this section, it is almost entirely flat all the way to Espalais. A final short climb will, however, be necessary to reach Auvillar.

The two slopes around Chartron
Route revised on 17/08/2023 to avoid paths that may be blocked by vegetation.
This route runs along both sides of a ridge, partly following the Way of St James. On one side, you’ll enjoy a stunning view of the town of Lauzerte. On the other side, you’ll visit the magnificent Chapel of Saint-Serrnin du Bosc and its old cemetery, situated at the bottom of a wild valley. As you cross from one side to the other, you’ll see a remarkable dovecote opposite the beautiful Chartron residence (a former priory).
Near the Garonne in Bourret
A walk that alternates between quiet tarmac roads and grassy paths, passing through two pretty little villages, Bourret and Cordes-Tolosannes.
Bourret loop
This loop is recommended by the festival committee and allows you to discover the small village of Bourret. Once there, you can enjoy the facilities, such as the children's playground, football pitch and pétanque courts. There are a few sections on tarmac roads, but mainly on paths through fields.
Woodland on the Reyniès hillside
A walk through the undergrowth of the hillside overlooking Reyniès. A route in the shade of oak trees, mainly on natural terrain and at the edge of the forest. Discover streams, ponds and views of the surrounding hilly countryside and its cultivated fields. An atmosphere of silence broken only by birdsong.
Lauzerte - Moissac
Thirty-third stage of the Way of St James. The GR®65 is a bit of a rollercoaster ride on this rather long stage. After the first climb, don’t forget to look back and admire the village of Lauzerte in the distance. Pigeon lofts and chapels, as well as vineyards and orchards, follow one after another. You gradually leave the Quercy Blanc behind, heading for the banks of the Tarn and the town of Moissac, which is well worth a visit.
The Castrum of Flaugnac
The village of Flaugnac is built on a rocky promontory called a "popie", overlooking the Lupte valley. Its architectural heritage, white stone houses with traditional architecture and hilly surroundings with diverse crops give it an undeniable charm.
This route allows you to admire the landscapes of the Quercy Blanc from viewpoints over the valleys while walking through a varied environment (hillsides, hamlets, limestone plateaus).
