The hike starts from Le Tel; park in front of the town hall. Yellow and yellow and redPR® markings on theGRP® des Gorges du Viaur.
(S/E) Opposite the church, turn left and you will soon reach a crossroads.
(1) Go down the road on the right towards La Garouffié. You will reach another crossroads.
(2) Follow the tarmac path that branches off to the left and, 250 metres further on, turn left onto a path that is initially flat but then descends through the forest towards the old village of Jouqueviel.
(3) After the ruins of the village and the castle, continue on the path on the left.
(4) At the fork, continue left on theGRP® des Gorges du Viaur (yellow and red markings).
Continue straight ahead along the Viaur for 5 km. There are several viewpoints, notably of the Château de Roumégous. You will arrive at the 12th-century Infournats chapel, where you can take a short break to admire this heritage site.
(5) Return to the path you came on and continue along the trail that climbs up towards the woods. You will reach a hairpin bend in the trail.
(6) Be careful, as the signpost at this hairpin bend is not immediately visible on the tree. Continue straight ahead through the undergrowth and do not follow the path on the right. You will arrive at the Route de l'Ouradou.
(7) Continue on the right to cross the hamlet, then turn right onto a path that runs alongside a dry stone wall and leads to a place called Lauretié. Cross this hamlet and continue along the road for a few hundred metres, then turn right at the T-junction.
(8) Turn left onto La Plaine, continue straight ahead, leaving Route des Finials on your left, and return to the starting point.
