Description of the walk

Car park at the Gers Departmental Council park.

(S/E) The start is quite steep and is at the far right of the park. Follow the path uphill.

(1) Pass under the high-voltage power line and continue until you come to a path.

(2) Continue along the path on the right and follow the nature trail, which is circular and turns first right then left. Join the Chemin de la Rethourie and follow it to the left for 20 metres.

(3) Turn left. At the path branching off to the right, continue left until you reach the junction you took on the way out.

(2) Turn right to return, via the same route, to the starting point (S/E).

It’s perfect for a last-minute outing when you fancy getting some fresh air, with or without the kids. You get a bird’s-eye view of the Auscitain landscape. It’s the sort of thing you can do again and again when you’re short on time.

A lovely short walk, perfect for families. Green markings almost all the way. A few (scattered) information boards about the area’s large trees. Lots of songbirds. The forest is beautiful, especially in autumn. It’s not uncommon to spot a few roe deer at the edge of the woods, even in broad daylight.
