Puydarrieux walks

Short walk around Lake Puydarieux. Bird sanctuary with access to huts. Route almost entirely marked with yellow signs to be followed in an anti-clockwise direction. Sometimes the markings are difficult to see, damaged or missing. A few paths are difficult to see.

This is a typical countryside walk for the whole family. Apart from the distance, which is a little long, it is not difficult. However, I recommend doing it on a clear day to fully enjoy the view of the Pyrenees.

Une belle balade sur les petits chemins qui vous mènent sur les coteaux de Galan avec de superbes points de vue sur la campagne environnante et la chaîne pyrénéenne. Un parcours sportif pour une remise en forme avant les sentiers de montagne un peu plus au sud.

A country route with sections through woodland. A pleasant and varied walk, both in terms of the paths and the landscapes.

The beauty of this route lies in its diversity: charming villages and churches, castles, chapels... Walkers will also appreciate the coolness of the river and the walk through the Hagède forest.

During this easy hike, you will discover the small village of Monléon-Magnoac, panoramic views of the Magnoac hillsides and the Pyrenees, the Marian shrine of Notre-Dame de Garaison, a famous school, and beautiful pine forests, all on a hilly and well-marked trail.

A circular route that is divided equally between the plain and the ridge paths. A break is a must at the former Rustan Abbey in St Sever de Rustan. On a clear day, you can enjoy beautiful panoramic views of the Pyrenees.

A pleasant hike alternating between woods and fields, trails and paths through the valleys of the Gers. On the way, the listed chapel of Saint-Clamens, dating fromthe 11th century, is worth a short detour.

This village was part of one of the five ancient châtellenies of Nébouzan, the châtellenie of Saint-Blancart. The church proudly bears the French motto Liberté, Égalité, Fraternité, a rare inscription on a church. All that remains of the castle known as Boussost are a few metres of foundations, close to the town hall, and the church bell tower is thought to be an ancient tower. Picnics are possible along the route.

The Lande de Franquevielle marks the end of the Lannemezan plateau and overlooks the Garonne valley, a river that flows from Spain. This village was part of one of the five former châtelleries of Nébouzan, the Châtellerie de Saint-Plancart. The church proudly bears the French motto "Liberté, Égalité, Fraternité" (Liberty, Equality, Fraternity), a rare inscription on a church. All that remains of the castle known as "Boussost" are a few metres of foundations near the town hall, and the church bell tower is thought to be an ancient tower. There are two picnic areas.

Get your calves ready and set off to explore this colourful route. The route starts on an old path, once widely used by farmers on their way to the market in a village higher up. You then alternate between woods and small roads, but one thing is certain: you will be immersed in nature. ThePR® -labelled route is signposted with the famous yellow colour code.

A lovely circular walk with long stretches through the woods (very pleasant in summer) and a beautiful view of the Pic du Midi de Bigorre at the start. Pass near the Tumulus de l'Estaque and enjoy a superb view of the Château de Malvezin. I recommend doing the walk in this direction, otherwise you won't necessarily see the château!

A beautiful hike through the hills of the Gers with stunning panoramic views of the Pyrenees. A circular route between light and shade, alternating between paths, trails and small roads. A circular route that can be enjoyed in all seasons, but is at its most charming in spring or autumn.

A walk steeped in local history. Starting at a 12th-century Cistercian abbey, a pleasant path leads to the 14th-century Château de Mauvezin de Gaston Phébus. Take a break on this rocky outcrop, which offers remarkable 360° views. The return to the abbey follows a downhill path through the woods.

Starting from the village of Haget, the trails offer hikers majestic views of the Pyrenees mountain range.

Through valleys and woods, this route unfolds its diverse nature, nestling lakes that will charm you for a well-deserved picnic break.

Orignac has a rich history, as evidenced by the Castériou site, believed to be an ancient Roman fortified camp. The 12th-century church, built on a hillock and surrounded by a circular cemetery, indicates the existence of a defensive enclosure in the Middle Ages. A lignite mine, south of the village, was in operation until 1947. Animal fossils have been found there. These include mammals, the oldest from the Tertiary period, including the gracile hipparion, ancestor of the horse.
