Description of the walk

Park in the Ox cemetery car park, Passage des Bourdettes.

(S/E) Head north along Rue de Capele d'Ox to climb back up towards the village. You’ll reach a multi-way junction near the town hall and the church.

(1) Turn left into Rue Jehan de Tilha; about a hundred metres further on, immediately after a fire hydrant, take the small path on the right. Cross the housing estate to rejoin Rue Jehan de Tilha at the exit. Take it straight ahead and follow it to the junction with Rue Jehan de Mascaron.

(2) Turn left here, continue along the path that follows it and reach Chemin de Marragon.

(3) Turn left onto it, quickly cross the Ruisseau de l’Aussau via a footbridge and continue until you reach the junction with the D43b near a sewage treatment plant.

(4) Turn left onto Chemin Français or Chemin de Camin. As before, this becomes a footpath as it heads into the fields. Continue to the Y-junction with Chemin de Galant.

(5) Turn left again and continue on to reach the Ruisseau de l'Aussau.

(6) Cross it again and continue along the path through the fields, continuing on the Chemin de Trigueboire.

(7) At the crossroads marked by a cross, turn left onto Rue du Comminges for about 100 metres. Leave this road and turn right at a 90° angle onto Rue Saint-Germer, then right again to return to the car park at Ox Cemetery (S/E).

Please note: after point 4, you walk past several houses, including one with four extremely menacing guard dogs (and when you see the state of the fence, it’s quite frightening!). A sign, incidentally, ‘explains’ that these are dogs trained for guard duty and that you mustn’t ‘provoke’ them!!! Well, even without ‘provoking’ them in the slightest, they were terribly agitated. It doesn’t make you want to start the walk there again...

A pleasant, easy walk. The area was quiet, with no shade along the route, so avoid very hot days. Views of the Pyrenees. I recommend it.

A walk along wide, quiet dirt tracks. Tarmac roads are only found at the start and halfway along the route.

A short, easy circular walk through the fields with no particular difficulty, offering lovely views of the Pyrenees and no significant elevation gain. A nice walk to stretch your legs!
