Short circular loop around Saint-Constant

With its red-tiled roofs, narrow alleyways and hamlets with southern-sounding names, Saint-Constant has a touch of a southern village about it and welcomes you for a refreshing family outing.

Description of the walk

The route starts at the car park of the Raoul Parra Children’s Park.

(S/E) Head west by turning right onto the small path reserved for pedestrians and cyclists, known as the ‘Sentier des Grenouilles’, and exit at the ‘salle du lien social’ and the football pitch.

(1) Take the access path which leads onto the D663. Then turn left and follow the road for 200 m (watch out for traffic). When the road bends to the right, turn left onto a small road leading to the hamlet of Monplaisir.

(2) Turn left, go round the back of a chalet-style house, then continue along the track. After about 500 m, take a sharp right onto the first path on the right. You’ll reach the hamlet of Le Péchaire.

(3) At the corner of the first building, turn right. At the junction, veer left and immediately ignore a turn-off on the left. You’ll come out onto a small road; follow it to the right as far as Monplaisir.

(2) Turn left and pass between two houses. Cross the D633 and continue along the small road opposite towards Lascombes. Pass a duck farm on your left and turn right with the road.

(4) Take a sharp left-hand bend, pass a building on the right and ignore a turn-off to the left. At the T-junction, turn right. Head downhill and ignore all the roads on the left (lovely views of Saint-Constant and La Garenne de Saint-Santin, as well as towards Bagnac and Figeac).

(5) Cross the D663 one last time and continue straight ahead. Cross a small road and return to the car park at Parc Raoul Parra (S/E).

A short walk suitable for everyone, perfect for enjoying some quality family time after a relaxing visit to the children’s play area. The Cantal is ‘almost’ the south, too!

This walk isn’t particularly interesting in its own right. The Cantal, with its open landscape, isn’t really showcased on this rather unremarkable route.
