Good hike overall.

- Between points 5 and 6, a small section of the path is overgrown, but it is fairly easy to pass in single file.

- At point 7, I recommend following the GR 65 (Chemin de St Jacques) to Mas de Dalat to avoid the long stretch of tarmac on this route.
In this case, the start/finish point is at Mas de Dalat.

A lovely route that I was already familiar with. The only downside is that there’s too much road, but that’s just my opinion...

Hello,
Unfortunately, we were unable to complete this walk, which I had downloaded from my Visorando account onto my mobile phone. However, since then we have downloaded and completed other walks in the same area (using the Visorando app) and I am happy to reply if you send me the same type of questionnaire.

Hello Patrice,
I think I didn’t turn off at the right place on the D143, judging by what you’re telling me.
I’ll do this walk again sometime; it’s lovely amongst the oak trees and on quiet paths;
Thank you in any case for this guide and description (which I’d printed out!!); it’s well worth the effort to describe it for others;

Hello Caro12,
thank you for your feedback on the hike, to which I’d like to provide some answers.
Regarding your first point, I’m not sure what you mean, as this is a proper, passable path that has never been closed to the public. It is also a section of the PR trail marked in yellow, which climbs towards the old Pech Migou mill, the highest point in the municipality of Limogne.
Regarding the second point, I recognise that you are immersed in the heart of nature and that there are few landmarks to help you find your bearings (oaks, low walls), which is part of the charm of this walk. But I’ll try to find the right words to avoid any confusion. For this walk, a printed copy of the route or the Visorando app is recommended.
Enjoy your walks!
Patrice

At point 2: you reach the D143 road. You cannot take the track on the right after walking 100 m to the left: it is blocked by sheep fencing, with no way through. The track also looks quite overgrown. So: follow the road for about 1.5 km.
At point 4: once you’ve taken the path going uphill: ignore the first grassy path on the left and take the second one (which is stony) on the left: the term ‘crossroads of paths’ is misleading (you might think there’s a second path that crosses the first one completely, but that’s not the case). I looked for the junction, and so I carried on straight ahead to the hamlet of Maral.
NB: I don’t have the app; I followed the directions in the printed guidebook.

A lovely walk along well-maintained paths lined with low stone walls, cazelles, dovecotes and charming buildings, set amongst groves of small Causse oaks.
An easy walk through typical countryside. The distance is as stated in the description.
The Buzou fountain at the start is definitely worth a look.

Thank you for your comment!
Indeed, at point 7, you can either follow the sign for “Lodge le Mas du Cartographe – via the GR” or take the “Lodge le Mas du Cartographe – direct” route as suggested in the description. The latter option, apart from being slightly shorter, takes you through the hamlet of Mas de Charrou, with its remarkable buildings!

A lovely walk, especially the first part (at point 7, I’d recommend taking the path on the left, which leads back to point 1). I followed the route using the app, so I didn’t need the instructions. Thank you for creating this lovely route; it’s really very pleasant and ideal for a family walk.

Thank you, CMA31
This is my first hike published on Visorando. I’d welcome your feedback to improve the accuracy of the description, as it’s a tricky task. Especially as I’m planning to publish other routes across a fairly wide area around Limogne, as there are plenty of hidden gems to discover.
