Description of the walk

Park in the car park along the road, opposite the church and town hall.

(S/E) Turn left and follow the D66 downhill until you reach the bridge over the stream.

(1) Turn left before crossing the bridge, which takes you up to the other part of the village. Continue along the tarmac road: Chemin d'En Carquet, for about 600 m.

(2) At a place called La Sébeillo, turn right onto Chemin de Fox, which descends before crossing the stream and climbs again after two bends. Follow it for a good kilometre. At the T-junction, turn left and walk along the small housing estate. Ignore the road that branches off to the right and continue around the housing estate, taking the left-hand bend. After a right-hand bend, pass under the high-voltage power lines and you will come to a fork in the road.

(3) Follow Route de Las Coquos on the left, which leads to No. 476 in the hamlet of Las Coquos. Ignore Route d'en Roye on the left and continue right for about 600 metres.

(4) At the end of Route de Las Coquos, turn left and continue along the road until you reach Chemin d'En Ramel on the right.

(5) Follow this road for a good kilometre to reach Chemin de la Tuilerie.

(6) Turn left, pass under the high-voltage power lines and continue to a crossroads.

(7) Carefully cross the D66 and continue along the left-hand side. You will soon come to a path for pedestrians and cyclists, which is more comfortable and less dangerous, leading back to the (S/E).

The route is very well defined as it is 100% tarmac, which is ideal given the torrential rain we've been having at the start of this year. The route is all the more enjoyable as the small roads are practically traffic-free. Congratulations and thanks to the author of the description: its accuracy is all the more appreciated as the circular route is not signposted. We would like to add a small detail that may be useful: at point 3, the route reaches the sign for "Las Coquos", located in front of a house; at this point, you must turn RIGHT, leaving the En Royé path as clearly indicated on the map.

A very pleasant short walk in winter as it is on a tarmac path and very sunny; you cross fields and hamlets, with lovely views even if you cannot see the Pyrenees.

A lovely walk, ideal after a rainy spell as it is entirely on small tarmac roads. We walk quickly and only took an hour and a half to complete the circular walk.

A lovely, very pleasant walk in the countryside, peaceful, with beautiful scenery. A very pretty little square in the centre of Gauré.
