Description of the walk

Park in the town hall car park.

(S/E) Walk down the road and, immediately after the town hall, turn right towards Lagarde-Viaur for about 400 metres.

(1) Turn right onto Chemin des Prés and follow it straight on until you reach the centre of the village. Turn left onto Rue de l’Autan and then left onto Chemin de l’Orée du Bois for about fifty metres.

(2) Turn right after No. 48 to follow Chemin des Violettes; this leads onto Route de l’Occitanie, then head up the left-hand side until you reach the junction with a cross (Croix de Bourdou) and a bench.

(3) Turn right, then right again a few metres further on to follow the Route de l’Oratoire.

(4) At the crossroads with a cross, continue along the road opposite, passing the cemetery and the Oratoire housing estate.

(5) Head downhill to the right along the Chemin de la Sablière, turn right again in front of the hotel and the post office, and return to the town hall car park (S/E).
