Los Cauguilhats, Autignac

A beautiful walk at Autignac today. Los Cauguilhats. 9km. 3h. The walk starts by parking at the southern end of the village. There is a good car park at the village hall and the walk starting post. Follow blue markers to your right down hill on a small lane to meet junction. Turn right and follow the road along side vines and fields of growing winter wheat. After crossing the stream on a bridge the road reaches the top of the hill where it turns right again to descend and reach the mill. This is a pretty building and the start of the valley that turns north towards the Avant Monts. Soon you will reach a stream crossing. Here you will see the rock of the bear. Keep heading north and turn right to cross the stream once again. (this spot makes a good picnic place). At the cross roads you can decide whether to return on the variant which is 2h and 7km or continue by turning left and here the scenery really begins. Beautiful views as you continue through vineyards and garrigue. Turn right and down to cross another stream before going up to the D road. There is about 50m of this road before you turn right onto the road back into the village.
