Description of the walk

Departure from Fleurance cemetery.

(S/E) Leave Fleurance via the Condom road (D654). After the hamlet of Le Gebra, after about 200 metres, turn right towards Moulin de Périssé. Continue along this road and follow the path straight ahead until you reach the junction with the D123 at Moulin du Poteau.

(1) Take the D123 on the left. At the junction with the Condom road (D654), cross it (carefully) and go straight on along the small road towards "la Borde Neuve". Continue to the next junction.

(2) Turn left and after about 400 metres you will reach a junction on the left towards Couterot. Take this road for about 300 metres. Turn right onto the path in the bend and continue along this path, which becomes a road. Turn left and reach the junction with the Route de Condom (D654). Turn right to reach the cemetery (S/E).

No markings, very tall grass in places (reaching shoulder height) with narrow passages with no visibility (crops), little shade... A shame because the area is very nice.

Hike done during rainy weather and after a thaw, so two-thirds of the route was muddy... and quite monotonous because of the straight lines... so focus on the athletic aspect... otherwise, plan for a dry period...!!!
Beautiful views of the Pyrenees from point 2, possibility of a picnic halfway along the route under the porch at the back of the Saint Lary chapel... otherwise under the agricultural shed before point 1...
Thanks to the hiker who mapped this route...

The landscape is magnificent, but there are no signposts and the explanations are very brief, which is a shame.

Unmarked trail, lots of tarmac and few viewpoints, best avoided when the crops are tall.

Walking at a brisk pace (no more than that), this walk takes about two hours. Very enjoyable, and suitable for all ages.

Be careful not to follow the PR signs at the start; we ended up walking an extra 3.5 km before realising we were on the wrong track, and then had to walk the same distance back. Follow the map. A beautiful, easy hike – I highly recommend it.

A pleasant hike. Fortunately, the description and map were accurate, as there were no signs on site to help us follow the route.
But really good, completed in less time than expected under the blazing sun.

I recommend it.

A bit muddy in winter and a shame there's too much road, but a very pleasant walk.
