Garlic trail east of Lautrec

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.

Description of the walk

Parking along the street at the entrance to Lautrec, near the roundabout.
The route is marked in yellow, but consists of differentPR®® sections. Pay attention to the various changes in direction and routes.

(S/E) Enter Lautrec via Rue du Mercadial. Continue to Rue de la Rode, passing through Rue de l'Église. Reach Rue du Mallegou.

(1) Turn left onto this street and continue down to Allée des Remparts. Turn right to join Route de Roquecourbe. Turn left, then turn right onto Chemin des Sols. Continue for about 100 metres until you reach Chemin du Bouriou on your right.

(2) Take this path. At the next junction, turn left to go downhill and join Chemin des Droits de l'Homme.

(3) Take this path on the left and follow it straight ahead to the Saint-Clément cemetery.

(4) Leave the track and turn left onto the narrow path leading northwards. At the road, turn right, then left towards La Gayraudié, a hundred metres further on. Cross the farm and, in front of the water tower, turn left. You will reach the Peyrolle crossroads after passing under the power line.

(5) Turn left to follow Chemin de Peyrolle. Arrive at the Coyratié access road.

(6) First turn left then right to follow a grassy path heading south, which is not very marked at the beginning. The path is not shown on the IGN map, but it is marked on OMS randonnée Monde. Ignore the field on the right. A yellow marker at the start disappears further on, but the path is clearly marked.

It heads south, then turns west, and runs below the road in the same direction. The path turns into a good dirt track. Further on, it turns south, like the D92, towards the village.

When you reach the Route de Roquecourbe, turn left then right onto the Chemin des Jardins, where you will find a wash house at an altitude of 249 metres. Continue south until you reach the Chemin des Sols. Turn right and continue for about 50 metres to return to the starting point of the circular route.

(2) Retrace your steps in the opposite direction to return to the roundabout and the car park (S/E).

BE CAREFUL at point 6, we hesitated, as did the walkers ahead of us, and we walked 500 metres before turning back.
Add: 6 Turn left onto the Coyratié service road and immediately turn right onto the grassy path...
WORTH SEEING: for a break after the walk, the PLUM café, with its beautiful interior in winter and courtyard in fine weather... and its aperitif concerts in summer.

We did this hike as a family, even the 5-year-olds managed it. There isn't much shade along the route, so avoid it on very hot days. Beautiful views of the hills.

The start was quite difficult to find due to a lack of signposts or signs, fortunately I had the description. Then impossible to do because the greenway was impassable, so a return trip instead of the planned circuit. Thank you very much. It would have been good if information had been provided at the start of the tour.

A very beautiful hike, however, on the way back there is an alternative route that allows you to avoid as much road as possible.
After point 4: After Peyrolle, "follow it to the D92..." At the Coyratié junction, IGN map, take a path heading due south (not shown on the IGN map) which is grassy and not very marked at the start (do not go into the field on the right) with a yellow marker at the start. This path is not marked thereafter, but the trail is clearly marked. It heads south then turns west and runs below the road in the same direction. The path turns into a good dirt track. It turns south like the D92 towards the village. It reaches a wash house at an elevation of 249 metres. Continuing south, it reaches Les Sols (IGN). At the crossroads, turn right to reach point 1.
and the village. I can provide the route to the author if interested. It joins the PLUM café for a drink!
Thanks to the author for this beautiful hike.
PS: On this route, it is possible to take a detour to reach the D92 and the car park.

A lovely walk, but best avoided after heavy rain as many areas become muddy
Very well signposted...
