Puylaurens walks

This hike has a few hills and is pleasant in all seasons, but should be avoided after heavy rain as the paths may be muddy. You will discover the charming hills surrounding the hamlet of Appelle, overlooked by Puylaurens. Several sections are on roads, but these are very small roads with very little traffic and beautiful views.

Starting from the village centre, this beautiful loop takes you north of the village through a varied landscape of hills to the hamlet of Ardialle and through Saint-Jean before climbing back up to Puylaurens. Can be done on foot or by mountain bike. Yellow markings.

Between Lavaur and Puylaurens, this circular route allows you to discover part of the Roman road, the hills of the "Pays de Cocagne" (Land of Plenty), the land of pastel, and the Château de Magrin.

This is a pleasant walk in all seasons, with pretty panoramic views and fairly good signposting. First follow the signs for "Petite boucle" (small circular) then "Plôts des Drulhes". Some parts of the route cross private property, so please respect it.

Poor donkey. According to legend, the miller tied a rope around its neck and hoisted it up to the top of the roof so that it could graze on a tuft of grass that was sticking out. You can guess how it ended. In its memory, come and take a walk in these pretty valleys of the Lauragais.

Discover the different landscapes of the Lauragais. Along the route, which is not difficult but hilly, you will find dirt tracks, historical remains and sites, and charming villages. This hike requires a little navigation, so an IGN map will be a great help.
