On the hills above Castelginest

Car park located on Rue Saint-Gilles near the Jacques Mauré secondary school.

(S/E) With your back to the car park, set off along Rue Saint-Gilles and turn right onto Rue des Sports. Walk past the town hall, cross Rue de l’Église and arrive at Rue des Écoles.

(1) Turn left onto this street, then continue along Rue de la Barthe, following it to the end.

(2) Carry on straight ahead along Chemin de Naucou through the fields to reach the Ruisseau de Fongauzy.

(3) Turn right onto the Chemin de Renery to climb the hillside: this section may be muddy depending on the weather over the last few days. Reach the top.

(4) Viewpoint overlooking Castelginest, Toulouse and the Pyrenees, weather permitting. Return via the same route to the junction with Rue des Écoles.

(1) Continue straight on, go round a roundabout and you’ll reach Rue du Pont Vieil. Turn right onto Promenade de Saint-Gilles, which leads to the car park (S/E).

Wear walking boots if the ground is damp; otherwise, trainers are fine.

Don’t forget to take a photo of the panoramic view of the Pyrenees if the weather is clear enough.
