This (double) route is uninteresting. Most of the time it's on small tarmac roads—and flat, straight roads at that.
The worst part is that you do the first lap, then return to the starting point to start the second lap.

Most of the route is on tarmac roads, except at the start of the first circular and the end of the second.
Difficult to spot and walk along the path at the bottom of the field alongside the stream due to very tall grass. Path not maintained.
Not recommended in hot weather, especially the first circular which is very sunny. Two beautiful viewpoints and the village of Montaigu, where you can enjoy the good energy of the place.

A hike with little to offer apart from the view of the Pyrenees.
What's more, we had to contend with aggressive stray dogs and even a minor bite from a large dog. Stray dogs are a recurring problem on hiking trails.

Pleasant hike: A large 8-shaped route of nearly 12 km with beautiful views of the Pyrenees and sunshine.

The first circular is uninteresting and should not be attempted in hot weather as there is no shade and too much of it runs along (dangerous) country roads. However, the view of the Pyrenees is magnificent. We did not do the second circular due to the heat and because we were a little disappointed with the first route.

Hello
A beautiful hike with stunning views of the Pyrenees and the hills, which alone make this route worthwhile. We also spotted numerous tracks suggesting a variety of wildlife that can perhaps be observed early in the morning.
It is best to park just before the bus shelter on the road you take at the start (route du cimetière) as the Town Hall car park is small and should be reserved for Town Hall users.

Hello,

There were several beautiful views of the Pyrenees on both circular paths, with a preference for the second one, which we did first thing this morning so as not to follow another group that had left five minutes before us.
A dog accompanied us throughout the entire route without ever barking during the just under three hours it took us to complete this pleasant walk.

To be honest, I hadn't planned on hiking in this area. The Tour de France decided otherwise by blocking my route in Cazère, which prevented me from reaching Lescure. Regardless, this walk did me a world of good. Special mention for points 1 and 7 (especially 7, where the view of the Pyrenees is superb).
The first circular includes several sections along country roads that I found quite risky. Not suitable for children.

This hike is interesting for mountain bikers but has too much tarmac road for hikers.
It would be preferable to only do the hilly section from starting point D, heading towards 7 then 6.5, 4, 3 and back to the starting point, as the scenery is beautiful.
The south-east circular is fine from the start to 1, but after that it is only tarmac on flat ground.

Have a nice day.

Hello everyone
Today's hike took place in average weather (cloudy), so the view of the Pyrenees was limited, but the route was well explained and reliable. Beautiful panoramic views of the surrounding countryside; in short: a pleasant hike.

Didn't see the peaks of the Pyrenees... but it was a pleasant hike, completed in 2 hours and 45 minutes at a leisurely pace.

The markings are clear. Beautiful panoramic views of the Pyrenees peaks. A lovely walk through fields. Take care on the section along the main road.
