A pleasant family walk in ideal weather conditions: 23°C, a light breeze and slightly overcast skies.
No particular difficulties on varied paths and some clear views of the Garonne valley and the Pyrenees.
The only slight downside was the high proportion of tarmac roads.

A very pleasant hike with a wide variety of landscapes and trails, alternating between wide paths, woodland passages and "relaxing" tarmac roads. Very detailed description, medium difficulty route.

A bit monotonous. The trail section lacks maintenance.

Hello,
Beautiful route, the GPS track is very reliable.
It's a lovely walk, but I find there's a little too much tarmac in general, especially towards the end. (There are no pavements for much of the last part of the route.)
I did this hike with my dog and didn't have any particular problems. Still, it's a good idea to have a lead with you as you pass by a riding school.
There was also a hunt going on near the castle. Don't hesitate to wear a high-visibility vest so you can be seen...
Thank you for this beautiful hike. I really enjoyed it.

We only did the circular starting from 7 and going downhill (at 3 we took the route towards 4). There is an alternative route when you reach 6. Instead of turning left towards 3, turn right then left at the crossroads 300 metres away. Then climb up into the Lartus forest via a small dirt track on the left at the top of the hill, which passes through fields before reaching the forest (very nice, even if you can hear the RN a little too much...). You will reach point 3 when you leave the forest.
Be careful in wet weather and in winter as there are some very muddy sections, including the climb into the Lartus forest.
Thank you for this excellent hiking idea.

Hello,
There is indeed an interesting alternative, but it cannot be described in Visorando, or I do not know how to do so.
Thank you for your encouraging comment.

A pleasant hike that allowed us to escape the grey skies and peak pollution levels of Toulouse: wide paths, varied landscapes, tarmac roads that were much appreciated after a long period of rain, a charming stretch through the woods (the only slightly tricky part as it was downhill and a little "wet")... However, on the way back, to avoid the D 572 and from point 3, we took the same route as on the way there and after point 2, took a path on the left that goes up into the woods and allows you to return to the starting point with a slight variation, as described by a previous hiker.
Thank you for this route!

A lovely little hike to stretch your legs, with magnificent views of the Pyrenees. Admittedly, there are some sections on roads, but these are small roads with little traffic. At the end, however, it is definitely better to follow the alternative route suggested by a hiker, which should avoid ending up on a fairly busy road (especially as we finished at dusk).

Nice hike, accurate description to complement the IGN map.
Just before point 4, over a short distance, the path narrows, becomes a trail, the entrance tends to be closed off by brambles and leads into the undergrowth.
On the way back, at the junction at point 3, we returned via the passage under the RN 124, turning left at the water treatment plant onto the path leading into the woods. After a few hundred metres, it joins a tarmac road serving a number of houses. Turn right at the first sloping street, which leads to Pujaudran.
This alternative avoids traffic on the road bridge and the entrance to the village.

A very beautiful hike, at one point on the ridge with a view of Toulouse on one side and the Pyrenees on the other (in a light mist, as is often the case in the afternoon), it's really pretty. A quick hello to the riders as we pass by the equestrian centre, what could be nicer?

That's perfectly normal; and above all, thank you for the route and surely for the next ones too!

Nice little hike, just one small downside: a bit too much road...
