Sémalens walks

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.

This hike starting from Puylaurens is a combination of severalPR® trails. It is therefore marked, but you should refer to the map and not blindly follow the markings to avoid getting lost in the wrong direction.

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.

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.

A beautiful, undulating route that passes through four places dedicated to the four saints of Dourgne: Saint-Macaire and his healing spring, Saint-Stapin the giant, Saint-Chipoli or Saint-Hippolyte, Saint-Ferréol and his Capelette.

A lovely climb up a steep gorge leads to the dry grasslands of the Désert de Saint-Ferréol, where La Capelette stands proudly overlooking a vast landscape.

Route through the Montagne Noire, with superb panoramic views of the Lauragais, the village of Dourgne and Sainte-Scholastique, places of worship (Quatre Saints) and magnificent pine forests.

Breathtaking panoramic views steeped in history and legend. 02/08/2023 Message from the moderator: Change to the route at point 11 to continue on thePR® and avoid En Crouzilles, which is private property.

This beautiful hike around Lautrec follows two yellow-marked routes: first the Route des Crêtes, then the Route des Tumulus a little further on. It offers beautiful views of the medieval village, the garlic fields, the Montagne Noire further south and the Pyrenees in the background when the weather is clear.

There is a pretty waterfall to see, unless there is a drought like the one in 2022.

This is a modest route to whet your appetite. Do it one morning for a breath of fresh air in the Lautrec countryside. Lautrec is the capital of pink garlic, which is mainly found in the south-west.You can plan this walk for a Friday morning before heading to the "canteen" at the Café Plum.

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.

On the western edge of the Montagne Noire, this hike harmoniously combines historical remains and beautiful views. The Oppidum de Berniquaut, the excavations of medieval dwellings on the same site, a large standing stone with cup marks and the ruins of the Chapelle Saint-Jammes de Besauceles will delight history enthusiasts. Lovers of beautiful landscapes will also find something to satisfy them on this route, which overlooks the Sorèze plain from a height of over 300 metres.

Circuit to Gallic ruins offering a 360° view of the Sorèze plain.

Semi-shaded route in the Montagne Noire, with beautiful views of the Revel and Puylaurens valley and the Pyrenees. Forest of fir, pine and beech trees, moors of ferns and ash trees. Little elevation gain. Most of this hike follows unmarked paths, even if you come across some markings. Only take these into account when they are mentioned in the description.

This walk, which is flat and easy, takes you around the bastide town of Revéloise and allows you to discover some historical sites. The starting point is right next to the municipal swimming pool.

A route off the beaten track to discover the Saint-Ferréol Basin, its winding paths, its famous waterfall, its cascades and, above all, its park with magnificent trees (pines, spruces, cedars, oaks, plane trees, maples, etc.). What's more, you'll discover Revel from above!
