Description of the walk

Park in the car park opposite the Foyer Rural d'Anla.

(S/E) Head towards the centre of the village. Leave the church on your left and go down the road. Pass the "Du côté de Lacoume" lodge. Leave the road leading up to the sheepfold on your right and continue straight ahead. The tarmac road soon gives way to a wide path before entering the woods. Reach the crossroads of two small paths near the place called Listres, which is marked on the map but not signposted on the ground.

(1) Take the right-hand path, then after about 100 metres, take the left-hand path. Continue through the Bois des Pujolles for 1 km. Cross the stream on the left to avoid getting your feet wet. You will reach the junction of the Izaourt road and Anla.

(2) Turn right and follow it to the hamlet of Paa.

(3) Stay on the road to easily return to the Foyer Rural d'Anla car park (S/E).

A pleasant route with plenty of woodland and few roads. Not too muddy for the time of year, but be careful if it rains in the days leading up to your visit.

A quick word about the app: AMAZING. I'm not really a hiker, but with a tool of this quality, you feel capable of anything. Thank you
The route is very pleasant and peaceful, with some beautiful sections through the woods (the moss on the trees and old stone walls give it an Irish feel). The end of the route along the road is less pleasant, but fortunately this road is not very busy.

We walked this short circular path this afternoon, but starting from Izaourt. We noticed that at the beginning of the path in the forest (on the right, about 600 metres after the sign marking the exit from Izaourt), there is a sign saying "Private road".
So are we really allowed to use it (or is the owner or beekeeper simply trying to discourage walkers)? MRH31510
