Description of the walk

Park in the village square, around the magnificent market hall.

(S/E) Leave via Rue des Nobles and, at the end, turn left towards the Restaurant du Poids Public and Route de Toulouse. Cross at the pedestrian crossing and go up to the right for a few metres towards Toulouse. Take the two successive staircases to reach a tarmac path that passes below the church and cemetery.

(1) Continue straight ahead on the grassy path downhill, which leads to a tarmac road.

(2) Follow it to the right for about 600 metres until you reach a left-hand bend.

(3) Continue straight ahead on the wide grassy path that climbs steeply and leads back to a tarmac road. Follow it as it continues, passing in front of the hamlet of La Plaisance and arriving at a Y-junction.

(4) Turn left and go up Chemin d'en Gry. At the next crossroads, at the highest point and level with the container storage area, continue straight ahead on the stony then grassy path. Ignore a turning on the left and continue straight ahead, going uphill to the T-junction.

(5) Turn right and continue for 100 metres. Ignore the path that goes straight towards the antennas and take the path down to the left.

(6) At the bottom of the descent, turn left onto the path leading down to Les Pouseilles and the bottom of the valley until you reach a crossroad.

(7) Cross it and take Chemin de la Lautarde opposite, which cuts across Route de Revel a little further up. This will take you to Promenade du Château, entering through Porte de Roqueville and skirting the remains of the fortifications and the square inside (we recommend stopping here to admire the view and get your bearings on the orientation table). Take the first or second street on the left to return to the village's central square (S/E).

Notes

There is very little shade on this hike, which is exposed to the wind, so dress appropriately for the weather.

Worth a visit

The village of Saint-Félix-Lauragais is well worth visiting in its entirety.

A very pleasant, easy walk. The village is interesting and worth visiting. The view from the ridges and the orientation table is fantastic. Due to time constraints, we shortened the walk by going directly from 2 to 5, but this allowed us to visit the English cemetery, which is located before point 5. I recommend this walk for a relaxing afternoon.

A lovely walk around Saint Felix, easy going despite being a bit hilly. Lots of grassy paths and, even on the tarmac sections, we didn't see a single car. Lovely views of Saint Felix and the Pyrenees mountain range.

Initially, there are not two staircases but only one.
After the staircase, turn right, then 20 metres further on, turn left and at the end of this downward slope, turn right.
The path then passes below Saint Roch Chapel and the cemetery.

This route is the one described in the guidebook "La Haute Garonne à pied" (Walking in Haute Garonne) from the "Promenade & Randonnée" series, but in the opposite direction, which is interesting because we found the view from the ridge over St Félix more interesting.

A very pleasant walk, without any major difficulties.
There are few signposts, but the description is clear enough that you won't get lost. Well done to the author!
Despite very wet weather prior to the hike, the paths were very passable.
However, we will do it again in another season because on that day, there was little visibility to admire the different panoramas.
At point 5, you can take a short detour (less than 1 km) to visit the English cemetery.
Finally, a visit to the beautiful village of Saint-Félix is a must. You'll never tire of it!

Very pretty route with beautiful rolling countryside. In the second part, magnificent views of Saint Felix and the Pyrenees. The route is fairly easy, with a few climbs and sections on tarmac roads. A lovely walk for the whole family.
