Low walls and boulders on the Montagne de la Serre

In Nadailat, park at the bottom of the village near the cemetery.

(S/E) Cross the road towards the small yellow signs and climb the path towards "Rouillat Haut". Ignore a path on the right further on, then pass a cross and a bench on the right. Shortly afterwards, the path turns right (point marked 914m) and continues uphill.

(1) At the "Truilière" signpost, turn left towards "Tertre de Fontarbre". At the "Tertre de Fontarbre" signpost, turn left towards "Chagourdat". After a right-hand bend, you will come to a T-junction.

(2) Keep left.

(3) Ignore a path on the right and turn left. Further on, you will come to a road, the D96.

(4) Follow this quiet road to the right for about 700 metres, passing a naturist campsite (Serre de Portelas) on your right.

(5) Arrive at the "Chagourdat" sign and follow the lane on the left towards "Moulin de Fligny" (error on this sign, it is actually "Moulin de Flory").

(6) At the end of the lane, at the entrance to the Chagourdat estate (horse boarding), continue on the path that branches off to the left of the cross and descends, going around the estate. You will arrive at the site of the former Moulin de Flory (the mill no longer exists).

(7) In front of the "Moulin de Flory" sign (south), turn right and follow a small diversion canal on your left (Chaos de Flore on your right). Continue along the path that runs alongside the Auzon, slightly higher up. About 600m further on, ignore two paths on the right in quick succession. After a short descent, you will come to a footbridge over the Auzon.

(8) Cross and go up the path to reach the pond. Continue to the signpost marked "Étang de la Prairie" and follow the path on the left towards "Chaos de Flore" to return to the site of the old Moulin de Flory.

(9) Ignore the path on the right to cross the bridge over the Auzon, then, facing the signpost for Moulin de Flory (north), turn right towards Nadaillat. Immediately after, ignore the paths on the right.

(10) Further on, the slope becomes steeper as the path heads north. Ignore a path on the right as the route turns west.

(11) Further on, ignore a path on the left. Shortly afterwards, at a fork, turn left, then right at a second fork a few steps further on. You will come to a road, the D96.

(12) Follow the Rue de la Fontaine to the left, which climbs towards the centre of Nadailat. When you reach the fountain, go down the street on your left. Pass the church and continue downhill to rejoin the D96, opposite the cemetery (S/E).

Moderate hike, standard hiking equipment required.

Picnic tables at the Étang de la Prairie.

Goat cheese sold at a farm at the northern entrance to the village.

(S) At the very beginning of the circuit, there are a series of small drinking troughs on the right of the path.

Between (1) and (2) Just after (1), note a small shelter in a low wall on the right. About 200 metres further on, note another shelter in a meadow on the left, then another a little further on, in the low wall at the end of the meadow on the right, just before you reach (2).

Between (2) and (5) Beautiful views to the south.

(7) Very beautiful poplar tree, on which a fir tree is beginning to grow.
A few metres further on, discover the Chaos de Flore and its dolmen, a little higher up on the right.

(8) The Auzon and the watercourse diverting the overflow from the Étang de la Prairie.

(9) Remains of the diversion channels of the old mill.
