Yellow^PR®®1circular loop

(S/E) Take Impasse de l'Église and walk away from the church to reach the town hall.

(1) Continue straight ahead on the road. After about 300 m, follow a path lined with low walls to the right towards the Fontaine du Mouillagol (wet passages, potentially flooded).

(2) At a crossroads, go straight ahead, heading east. You will reach the Mouillagol fountain in a clearing.

(3) Turn left onto a path that climbs steeply. At the top, you will come to a road. Follow it to the left for about 30 metres.

(4) At the triangular crossroads (cross), turn right and enter the hamlet of Cavaillé via Impasse des Marronniers. At the end of the tarmac road, follow a path on the right alongside a farm. Climb uphill and ignore a path on the right.

(5) Turn sharply left and descend. At a crossroads, turn right onto a slightly uphill track.

(6) At a T-junction, turn left onto a white path in the hamlet of Perrufe. After about 200 m, when the main path turns left, turn right onto Impasse Lo Bèl Garric. Walk north.

(7) At a crossroads (ferry), turn left at an acute angle. At the intersections as you approach houses (hamlet of Perrufe), keep to the right.

(8) Take a path on the right. Walk north-northwest and ignore a path on the right (elevation 240). Come out onto a small road and follow it to the right. Turn left onto the Route de la Veyrière and continue straight ahead to the hamlet of Tarau.

(9) At the intersection, turn left onto a small road and continue for 450 m towards the hamlet of Le Pech. Ignore another road coming from the left (cross) and cross the hamlet of Le Pech via Route des Puits.

(10) At the end of the hamlet, take a small path on the left (ruined house). This leads to a small road, which you follow to the right for about 50 metres. Then take another road on the right at an acute angle (covered wells). After about 75 metres, take a path on the left between the houses.

(11) At the T-junction (Fonmalnet communal well), turn left onto a slightly downhill path. Then take the first path on the left and join a road at the town hall.

(1) Follow the road to the right and you will soon come to the church car park on your right (S/E).

The circular route is maintained by the municipality of Mouillac and the Quercy Rouergue et Gorges de l'Aveyron community of municipalities.

It is necessary to stock up on supplies in Puylaroque or Caylus as this circular route runs alongside small hamlets and quiet paths with no villages nearby.

During the hunting season, from late August to late February, do not stray from the marked paths, which are all rural paths open to the public and listed in the PDIPR (public network of footpaths and trails) of Tarn-et-Garonne (the land on either side of the path is private property).

The commune of Mouillac, feeling very much part of the Causse region, now wishes to participate in the Causses du Quercy Regional Nature Park project. It is now bound by a 5-year agreement (2023-2027) as an associated commune, with full membership in 2027.
